Games Development - Minor

Games development will provide you with a detailed understanding of the processes and technologies used in the development of games and their associated technical and creative content. You will learn to program with the main technologies, tools and languages used in the games industry, with an emphasis on interactive software development. We teach in a collaborative studio environment, in which you can explore and create unique game ideas using advanced technology.

Non-IT students undertaking this minor as a stand-alone option need to complete FIT1045 to satisfy the prerequisites of FIT2096. If you are enrolled in the C2000 Bachelor of Information Technology, you will complete FIT1045 as part of your course.

This area of study is offered in the Bachelor of Information Technology or can be taken as part of other courses where you have 4 free electives.
