Games Development

Games Development is designed for beginners and aspiring developers who want to learn the fundamentals of game creation, build practical programming skills, and gain hands-on experience with professional tools.

This short course provides a solid introduction to Unity 3D, C#, 3D modelling basics, and interactive game mechanics for both PC and mobile platforms.

Students will prototype and build real mini-games while learning essential technical concepts step by step.

Why choose this course?

• Learn the core principles of game development from scratch
• Build confidence in using Unity 3D and C#
• Develop practical skills for creating both PC and mobile games
• Understand how to design game levels, objects, and user interfaces
• Gain experience with real industry tools such as Unity, C#, and Maya
• Strengthen problem-solving and logical thinking through interactive tasks

Course Overview

In this programme, students will explore the fundamental components of video game development, including:

• C# programming basics in Unity and Mono
• 3D asset creation using Maya and exporting/importing into Unity
• User Interface (UI) development for games
• Interactive object programming and basic game logic
• Mathematics for games, including vectors and transformations
• Level and scene design using Maya and Unity
• Essential C# data structures — arrays, hash tables, and lists
• Introduction to Game Objects, components, and behaviours
• Lighting and rendering fundamentals
• Physics simulation, rigid bodies, and particle systems

Training includes hands-on exercises, mini-projects, prototyping sessions, and practical challenges that simulate real game development tasks.

Teaching Methodology

Developed by experienced instructors, the course follows a practical and student-centered approach, combining theory with active creation:

• Hands-on coding and game mechanics exercises
• Real-world game prototypes and design tasks
• Interactive group work and problem-solving challenges
• Continuous feedback and personalised support

Who Is This Course For?

• Beginners interested in learning how to create video games
• Students exploring programming and digital design
• Anyone who wants to build a foundation for future studies in game development, computer science, or 3D design

Course Structure

• Course dates: 30 June – 30 July
• Schedule: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
• Study format: on campus

Important Booking Information

Payment is required for the full course because:

• All modules must be completed to ensure a full understanding of the game development pipeline
• Practical sessions build on each other and cannot be skipped
• Final mini-game creation requires knowledge from all earlier modules

By the end of the course, students will have created functional game prototypes, gained strong foundational programming skills, and developed confidence in using Unity 3D.

A Professional Certificate is awarded upon completion.
