Our dedicated games department has seen over £80,000 of investment over the last few years to ensure our students are working with industry level kit.

You’ll use liquid cooled gaming rigs and Wacom Cintqs in our cutting edge graphic suite and industry standard software such as 3DS Max, Unreal Engine 5 and the Adobe Creative Suite.

As well as three cutting edge engine rooms, we also host our own VR lab where you can design and explore cyberspace, along with use of the immersive lab at PROTO across the road.

We work hard to make fantastic partnerships with employers to give you experience of the world of work. This might include project based industry commissions, guest speakers or external event visits.

Career development is central to our courses and we continually work to reflect real world experience in the course.

Currently we work with leading technology companies such as PROTO, Sumo Digital and Atom Hawk, which can lead to work experience opportunities.

We also participate in, and are reigning champions, in a number of externally set Game Jams – they’re our favourite thing!

In addition, we promote a ‘beyond entertainment” approach where your newly developed skills may be transferred into other fields such as games for education or technology roles.

Once you finish this course, you can progress onto our Level 3 course in Games Production (which is equivalent to three A Levels) and on completion of this you could then go onto university, one of our own Hight Education courses, an apprenticeship or into work.
