Internship – 4-part course series

This internship is for intermediate programmers who are interested in learning how to program games in the Unreal Engine using C++. Learners must have completed at least one other programming internship on Coursera or one high school or college programming course before starting this internship.

The first course assumes that you have some level of programming experience. Over the 4 courses in the specialization, you will learn how to program in C++ and how to use this knowledge to program games in the Unreal Engine.

Applied learning project

Each course includes 10-20 exercises designed to teach you small concepts in C++ and Unreal. You will develop several console applications in C++, all designed to teach you important concepts in C++ and the Unreal engine.

Completing the programming exercises and assignments will allow you to apply your C++ programming skills to both console applications and Unreal games.
