Studying computer games encompasses developing real-time systems for strategic gameplay (like traditional board and card games) alongside creating solutions for the commercial gaming sector (collaborating with industry leaders like BioWare and Inflexion). While we're driven by showcasing cutting-edge technologies through gaming applications, our research extends beyond this, proving valuable in fields ranging from robotics and civil engineering to bioinformatics.

Qualification Requirements
A 3.0 GPA is typically the minimum GPA for acceptance in an MSc or PhD program. However, we may consider slightly lower GPAs in exceptional circumstances or due to small discrepancies in international GPA conversion rates. Meeting the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Our department admissions process is highly competitive and the Admissions Committee often selects students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.
