Computer Games
Masterclass Programme
The University’s School of Computing and
Intelligent Systems and School of Creative Arts
have teamed up with Instinct Technologies,
a leading games development company, to
present an extra-curricular training programme
for UU students and staff. The masterclasses
will focus on all aspects of the computer
games industry, from level design, to multimedia
creation and programming and will
provide training on the use of cutting-edge
games development technologies. The
initiative profiles the work of both Schools in
developing new and innovative programmes
of studies in the creative industries area,
supported by key industrial partners.
Computer game development is a highly
creative and fast-moving sector and this
project will equip both staff and students with
the industry-relevant skills and knowledge
required to create next generation multi-media
applications.
The project is supported by the Higher
Education Innovation Fund (HEIF 8).
