Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science - Game Development

Computer science drives innovation in the 21 st Century. From influencing the space program and contributing to models of personalized medicine, to solving life and business challenges through big data applications, computer science is all about exploring possibilities and influencing outcomes. The Department of Computer Science at Western is responsive to rapidly changing business, social and natural landscapes. As such, we provide students with innovative programs, courses, internships and extracurricular learning opportunities that reflect focus areas of greatest interest to students (testimonial) and their potential employers.

The work of a computer scientist falls into several categories, and students in the Department of Computer Science at Western acquire skills and experience in all. Undergraduates learn skills that allow them to design and build software as well as develop effective ways to solve computing problems, including storing information in databases, sending data over networks, and providing new solutions to cyber-security issues. Our students also acquire the expertise needed to devise new and better ways to address challenges in big data, game development, medical imaging, social and mobile computing and in bioinformatics.

Games are serious business. In fact, video games generate more revenue each year than music, film, television, and books. Making a successful video game is not child's play either. Computing, naturally, plays a big role from programming, to graphics, to audio, to physical simulation, to online support, and more. Computer Science at Western has what it takes to prepare you for this exciting, challenging, and creative field, and has been ranked in the top 50 universities in the world to study game development for three years running something you wont find anywhere else in Canada
