It looks like a normal computing degree that is offered by many universities. I was first
because gaming has very limited career opportunities but looking at the degree they are doing other computer subjects. Greenwich became a university in 1992. It was polytechnic (higher education, further education institute) since the 1800's. In 1992 many polytechnics became universities. Because of this the number of universities in London has increased.
So the brother is living near the university ? thats good

Its not Oxford but Oxford has no gaming degree
Oxford only offers a computer science degree
some of the new rules
Government wants to cancel the 2 year PSW visa (post study worker)
Students should only be allowed to work on
campus during the week and for any external
employer at weekends and during vacation
periods
Where a course includes a work placement,
raise the minimum ratio of study to work
placement from 50:50 to 66:33 so that these
types of courses become less attractive to people
using them as a way to gain access to the UK
employment market.
Remove permission to work for all dependents of
Tier 4 students.
Only those Tier 4 students studying for more
than 12 months to be allowed to bring their
dependents to the UK.
