Course Structure and Content

The creation of images using computers has grown into a very large and diverse subject area. This course provides a comprehensive and in-depth program of study in the ideas, mathematics, technology and techniques of computer graphics.

In the first year, students are introduced to the fundamental principles of graphical mathematics, computer programming and graphics technology. In the second year subjects include the principles of computer graphics programming, and introduction to rendering and visual simulation. In the final year these subjects are expanded into advanced fields including image synthesis, real time computer graphics, procedural visual effects and procedural animation.

Graduates would be well suited to careers in any industry that makes of computer generated imagery, including film and television, computer games, industrial simulation, military simulation, scientific visualisation and medical imaging.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Course Structure and Content

Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.

These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
