“When I saw that you can do games development at university I was massively inspired and knew that this is what I wanted to do. I’ve always been very interested in computing but wanted it to be more visual, more design-based. I did a lot of research into game development courses – Plymouth easily had the best course to combine my interests.”
BSc (Hons) Computing & Games Development graduate Jack Griffiths found the perfect degree to combine his design and programming passions and is now set for a high score in the games industry.
Explore our computing facilities
Computer science students at Plymouth have access to a wide variety of specialist facilities. Spread across eight specialist laboratories, these facilities offer a range of hardware and software setups to support a wide variety of projects and learning styles.
I don’t think there’s been a single week where I haven’t used the computing lab at least five out of seven days. Having free, full access to specialised software like MATLAB, VirtualBox, Azure and Eclipse has been a significant boost to my education.
