Disciplines
Courses Offered
An introductory qualification for S4–S6 school pupils, designed to teach how to write computer games. The course covers three topics: media assets (finding and customising digital assets like sounds, images and videos), design (creating a plan for a computer game), and development (writing code to produce a playable game). Students attend college on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and develop programming, computational thinking and problem-solving skills.
Esports is one of the most exciting areas in the entertainment and computing world — but this course isn't just about playing games. You'll combine your gaming enthusiasm with professional skill development, learning fundamental programming concepts, exploring how games are developed and collaborating on a project as a team. While you develop your skills, you'll participate in the British Esports Student Champs, competing in popular titles like League of Legends, Rocket League, Valorant and Overwatch 2.
