What it isYou study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.This program teaches you how to design, build, and maintain software and computer systems, with courses in artificial intelligence and software engineering. You can choose to add a co-op stream, which alternates your study terms with paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want hands-on coding skills and either prefer learning theory in a classroom setting or want to test their skills in industry while studying.
