Game Development - Advanced Programming at Fanshawe College

Do you ever imagine about what kind of video or computer game you'd like to create? With the Game Development certificate, you can realize your dream of having a career as a professional game developer.

Fanshawe's program will give you valuable preparation with classes that train you to do what programmers on project technical teams do: physical modelling, sound, and scripting systems. As well, you'll have access to cutting-edge technology that allows you to create your own custom game engines and game components.

You'll also learn the specialized skills knowledge that a programmer needs to know in order to succeed in the fast-paced, rapidly growing industries of entertainment or educational game development. If you are interested in how games can improve the lives of the people who play them, you can also focus on the emerging ‘serious games' industry of training and simulation software. When you graduate, you will have developed skills that are highly marketable and transferable, and you will also have the flexibility of working as a Senior Programmer, Game Programmer, or C++ Programmer, or in another area of software development.

Are you game? If so, the Game Development program can help you begin your career.
