| What it is | Computer Science at Trent is a degree in programming, algorithms, and how computers work at a fundamental level. You learn to write code, solve computational problems, and understand the theory behind software and systems. This is a traditional academic program rather than a work-integrated or professional track, so it suits students who want a broad foundation in computing before deciding on a career direction. | You study how to design and build video games, combining computer science with creative and artistic skills. Unlike a straight computer science degree, this program teaches both the technical coding side and the creative tools and design methods used in game development. It suits people who want to work in the games industry but need solid programming foundations as much as they need artistic or design ability. |
