With ongoing growth in games and entertainment, IT professionals with the expertise to build highly visual systems are in demand, with the Bachelor of Information Technology (Games and Entertainment Design) designed to meet that need.

Balancing technical skills with creativity, you will develop your ability to design and program games, pitch your ideas and take them to market.

These skills are highly transferrable, with opportunities also available in the film and tv industry, education, health, business and defence sectors.

Enjoy a common first-year across most IT degrees enabling you to switch between specialisations and receive credit for completed courses. This means if you change your mind about your IT specialisation after first-year, you can change programs and still complete your degree in 3 or 4 years full-time (depending on your degree length). Start now, decide later.

What you'll learn

During your first year of study you will build a strong foundation in IT fundamentals, including networking, database development, programming, and systems analysis and design, before specialising in game development, which will see you build skills in computer graphics programming, multimedia design and information visualisation.

In your final year you will put your skills into practice through our ICT Capstone Project.

You may have the opportunity to work directly with an industry client, drawing on the technical expertise gained throughout your studies and applying professional skills in a real-world setting to produce and deliver an artefact for your client.

You will enjoy access to dedicated learning hubs where you can connect and collaborate, giving you the full workplace and project experience.
