Serious Games Masters


The University of Northampton is launching a Masters pathway on the MSc Computing programme.

Aimed at wide audience including but not exclusive to games programmers, computer scientist, as well others who have an interest in computing with some programming experience.

 Some of the key features of the course include:

  • Immersive technologies module covering the technologies of serious games - taught by staff who have research experience in these areas (see overview below).
  • A module taking a serious game from inception to completion.
  • Modules covering mobile development and programming to provide broad but relevant skills.
  • Dissertation relevant to serious gaming professional.


To find out how to join this course contact Dr Scott Turner (scott.turner@northampton.ac.uk)
