Why choose this course?
This double degree gives you the opportunity to use your problem-solving skills to develop realistic games in a competitive gaming environment. A decade ago, people probably wouldn’t have noticed if the cape the game hero was wearing didn’t flap in the wind as he ran, or that the boxes in the corner of the room of the dungeon didn’t fall over when they are run into in a fight. Nowadays, serious gamers notice and demand this type of realism in their virtual worlds. This is where your maths and problem-solving capabilities come into play. Complex formulae are used in games design to create realistic scenes and knowledge of mathematics will certainly aid your understanding.
Undertake core units from your Bachelor of Mathematics and Bachelor of Games and Interactive Entertainment, including:
- applied, computational discrete and financial mathematics
- mathematical modelling
- operations research
- scientific computation and visualisation
- statistics and statistical modelling.
- digital media
- game design
- software technologies.
Career outcomes
Graduates may work on film and television special effects, or as concept artists for games and interactive entertainment.
