About BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Games) with Foundation Year
The BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Games) with Foundation Year sits on the University of Greenwich International College pathway as a full-time Computing bachelor's option for eligible UK students. The foundation year is designed as a funded first step into the degree for applicants who need preparatory study before the main computer science stages on a weekday timetable.
Subject content centres on the science behind computer and software systems with a games specialism. Existing course information points to themes such as games technology, games design and development, and advanced games design work, alongside practical system-building with contemporary tools and techniques that keep skills current as technologies change.
This route can appeal to career changers moving toward junior developer or technical production roles in games-related software, returners who want a structured campus weekday timetable, and applicants who prefer a games-labelled CS degree over a pure AI or general computing title.
This International College pathway is for UK home students, and Student Finance England funding may apply if you meet the eligibility rules. Use AF Education to check eligibility, compare the games CS foundation against the AI sibling page, and plan an honest application sequence for your prior study.
