Game Development - Programming is a two-year advanced diploma with a Game Programming specialization stream, delivered on campus at the Manitou a bi Bii daziigae, Exchange District Campus in Winnipeg. Students build video games through collaborative, team-based projects, solving creative and technical development challenges while assembling a professional portfolio. The curriculum covers creating and editing game-ready assets, documenting project requirements, researching and applying information to improve outcomes, and managing projects by working with stakeholders within production timelines and schedules. The program includes a 12-week Work Integrated Learning term that alternates classroom study with an industry placement, giving students practical workplace experience, industry contacts, and a competitive advantage when they graduate. Admission is competitive and based on a portfolio evaluation submitted after application, with a single September intake and an annual application deadline of March 1.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires proof of graduation from, or current enrolment in, Grade 12, with official final grades due by 15 July if applying while still enrolled. Applicants aged 19 or older who have been out of high school for at least a year may apply as mature students without meeting the regular Grade 12 requirement. Applicants who completed three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the US, or an ELR-exempt country in English meet the language requirement; others must submit one of RRC Polytech's approved certificate-level assessments: IELTS Academic (overall 6.0, no band below 5.5), CAEL (overall band 60), PTE (overall 54, minimum 50 per skill), Duolingo (115 or above, minimum 95 per section), or TOEFL iBT (4.0 overall, minimum 3.5 per component). A portfolio is required for both regular and mature-student applicants but is not due at the time of application; the College requests it at a later date. This is a competitive admission program, with priority given first to current RRC students and then Manitoba residents, and an annual application deadline of March 1.
