Masters Goldsmiths University of London This groundbreaking MSc in Computer Games and Entertainment is being launched to complement our recent launch of our undergraduate degree, the BSc (Hons) Creative Computing and in response to a pressing need to offer a high quality postgraduate programme serving Malta’s foreign direct investment in on-line gaming and the expected influx of software and media companies attracted by the Smart City investment. The programme will cover subjects never offered in Malta. Increasingly the same tools and software used in computer games are also being used in special effects for TV, videos and movies, and this programme equips you to work in the special effects and TV effects (including advertising) industries as a development programmer. The Goldsmiths MSc with its broad scope of skills (Artificial Intelligence, Physics simulation, team work and management, funding and advanced programming to name but a few) will produce graduates attractive to employers in all innovative software industries in and outside games. The Computer Games and Entertainment Business is now a multi-billion dollar worldwide business, with games platforms ranging from Playstation3, Xbox360, Nintendo Wii, PC to Massively Multiplayer Games involving tens of thousands of people on-line, Mobile games, Nintendo DS handheld games and PC Casual Games. In a wider sense, the influence of computer games programming is spreading to other industries outside games, as seen in products such as Second Life, Habbo Hotel, Bebo and many others; computer games are starting to fundamentally change the way people interact with companies.
