What you study	Computer Games Computer Science	Business Studies Computer Science Environmental Studies Mathematics
What it is	You study the computer science and programming skills needed to design and build video games, rather than just the theory of computing. The program combines coding, game engines, and design principles so you learn both the technical and creative sides of game development. It suits people who want to work in the games industry and are comfortable learning to code.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
