Want to join the expanding IT industry? Or launch a career in game development? Take your pick with Douglas College’s Computing Science Diploma.

In the first year of this two-year program, you’ll learn the basics of computer programming and gain experience using both C++ and Python. Exit after year one with a Computing Science Certificate or an Academic Foundations Certificate depending on the electives you choose. You can also complete your diploma at Douglas College in one of two streams: game development, or the general information technology stream.

With the Game Development stream, you’ll learn to write code for computer games using industry-standard game development tools such as Unreal Engine. You’ll also develop entire games from initial design to implementation for both computers and virtual reality (VR) devices.

Small class sizes with good ratios of students to teachers and so many ways to transfer to universities if you're so inclined. Programs are top-rate, and tuition is really cheap.

Both campuses are close together in a beautiful wilderness landscape. Loads of amenities like the stadium, gym and theatre, and transit is a piece of cake with a U-Pass.

This is a great school and I can't say enough good things about my experience here.
