Computer Graphics and Games –
Work at the point where humans meet machines—learn to design and program beautiful and powerful games, user interfaces, and film and television graphics.
From the user interfaces that allow you to interact with your computers and devices, to cutting-edge graphic design in film, television and games—computer graphics takes the digital and makes it visual.
Creativity and programming
Bring the frontiers of computer capability to the point of human perception, and create new kinds of software and visual experiences.
You’ll become a creative programmer, learning to blend elements of design, mathematics, engineering, and computer science. Build the skills and technical knowledge to create graphics that push the limits of visual effects, game interaction, and design.
Connections with industry leaders
Computer Graphics and Games at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington is the only programme in Australasia that offers a qualification in games and graphics at undergraduate level, giving you a head start in this growing industry.
The programme has been developed with input from major industry players including Weta Digital, PikPok, and Square Enix (who produce Final Fantasy). You’ll get the benefit of these ongoing links, with guest lectures and mentorships on group projects. For some advanced students, there is also the possibility of internships in local companies.
Merging images and artificial intelligence is merging my two favourite research areas. I’m excited to see what will happen with this research in the future
