We’re bringing the award-winning Get In The Game careers talks to universities across the UK
(and even a couple in Europe)!

If you’re on a games-related course & want to know more about how to get into the games industry, find your nearest event & make sure you don’t miss out!

Talks will be presented by our Grads In Games team, with guests & speakers from across the games industry. Each careers event is tailored based on the relevant courses studied at your university, whether that’s a focus on technical and programming areas of study, more about creative development in art, animation and design, or a mix of topics to cover several areas. We’ll be joined by a range of guest speakers, which in previous years has included devs from Sumo Digital, nDreams, BossAlien, Unity, Rebellion, Microsoft & many more!

The Grads In Games team (graduate specialists from leading games recruiter Aardvark Swift) will help you learn what it really takes to make it into such a competitive industry, covering topics including

• General advice & options on careers in the games industry
• Easy ways to directly increase your employability
• How to maximise your chances of graduating into a games industry role
• Guidance on CV, portfolio and demo content & presentation
