Award in Unity Game Development – Bootcamp

General Description

This course teaches how to develop 2D and 3D games using Unity, one of the most popular programming languages for developing games and which is in high demand by the job market.

This unit is delivered in the form of a Bootcamp, and embraces the core philosophy to deliver the most valuable and practical content in the least amount of time. Through a number of hands-on practical projects, the learners will be able to learn from scratch how to develop gaming applications using Unity.
