Napier University starts new computer games course...

A TRAILBLAZING university course is set to use the latest cutting-edge gadgets to pave the way for the game designers of the future.

The Game Technologies masters course at Edinburgh Napier University will launch in September, teaching state-of-the-art techniques to students eager to gain a foothold in one of the world’s fastest-growing job sectors.

And with links to Disney, PlayStation and Rockstar Games – the makers of smash-hit video game series Grand Theft Auto – university chiefs hope the course will help launch the careers of the next generation of virtual pioneers.

Headed by Dr Ben Kenwright, the degree course is aimed at those with a background in maths, computing, engineering or physics and gives students scope to work with the latest gaming gizmos, including the futuristic virtual reality Oculus headset.

Considered by many to be the future of gaming, Oculus allows users to enter an entirely virtual world, from trekking across deserts to riding roller-coasters from the comfort of their armchair. Full story...
