The BSc in Gaming and Animation programme will develop students’ understanding of the principles and practices concerned with simulating active, intelligently directed virtual environments. The programme maintains a good balance between essential theory and professional practice. In the theory course units students will develop their understanding of the cognitive principles involved in user interaction with a wide range of computer games and hardware devices. In the more practical elements students will get exposed the very latest technologies in gaming and animation, and will quickly learn to combine theoretical knowledge with a range of practical techniques to generate novel virtual scenarios and experiences for users. By the time students graduate, they will be able to apply your skills in 2D and 3D digital animation to create virtual worlds of their own design.

BSc Information and Communications Technology curriculum in the Faculty of Computing and Information Management responds to our new strategic direction in providing high skilled and relevant entrepreneur professionals in Information Communication Technology sector in Kenya and the East African region market at large.
