Course description:

The Advanced Diploma of Professional Game Development is the most industry focused and relevant games course in Australia, developed in response to a shortfall in relevant industry skill sets and driven by extensive consultation with Game Developers. This course is delivered through project modules covering all aspects of game creation currently employed in game development, as well as new technologies currently being developed by the industry. Students will focus on furthering their skills in all aspects of C++ programming, before focusing on specializations in including Graphics, Effects, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Networking. The course further focuses on providing students with the skills required to work across multiple platforms. The highlight of this course for most of the students is the game project in which Art and Programming students work together to develop a game from concept. Working in a simulated industry environment with real industry input, students work in teams to build a completed, playable game which is then showcased widely. Students gain transferable industry-type experience whilst still studying. It is this experience that drives a 95 percent industry employment success rate for AIE’s programming graduates within three months of graduation.
