The aim of the Bachelor of Games Interactive Environments is to provide you with the necessary skills, knowledge and values to be successfully employed within the computer games industry or to develop game applications for a broad range of industry sectors (e.g., government, finance, education).

The Bachelor of Science degree aims to provide:

diverse perspectives to fuel your spirit of inquiry
engaging experiences in the laboratory, in the field and in the classroom
flexible study choices and the opportunity to prepare for non-traditional science careers
relevant subject matter designed to enable you to make a difference by doing science connected to known problems
coherent studies which have been carefully designed to give you the skills you need for success.

In this double degree, you will complete the requirements for two separate degrees in four years. The course consists of units in both science and games and interactive environments.

The Bachelor of Science gives you the opportunity to collaborate with your peers and teaching staff to explore real world problems from multiple scientific perspectives. Your major will provide you with in-depth knowledge and expertise in a scientific discipline, preparing you for entry into the workforce or further study. You may choose from:

Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Earth Sciences
Environmental Science
Physics.

In the Games and Interactive Environments component, you will complete core units in introductory design, games studies, professional skills and basic programming and then choose a major from the list below. Studio is introduced from the second year of study introducing group project working towards producing a significant piece of work using PC, mobile devices, consoles or virtual reality in your final year project.

Games and Interactive Environment majors:

Animation
Game design
Software technologies.

Career outcomes

Depending on your specialisation, you may find employment as a games programmer, games designer, simulation developer or designer, animator, film and television special effects developer, games reviewer, video game tester, sound designer, or mobile and communications developer. In addition, your strong design and programming skills can open up jobs such as web developer, digital product strategist, multimedia designer, software developer or technical officer.

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Science, you will be skilled in many aspects of scientific study, depending on your major. Refer to the individual courses for details of career outcomes for each discipline areas. Careers might also include science writing, teaching, policy development, or commercialisation and management of biological products and processes.
