Every year we work with university lecturers and course leaders to bring our Get in the Game activities to universities across the UK and Europe, along with our team of consultants and mentors from the games industry. As a team, we visit universities to share experience on how students should best prepare for gaining successful employment. We regularly talk to studios, big and small, to find out exactly what qualities they’re looking for in graduate employees, so we can advise both students and tutors on how to make the most of their course with a view to increased employability
Additionally, our Search For A Star challenges are not just a showcase of student talent, but also a showcase of the universities, courses and tutors that are responsible for identifying and developing that talent. We also recognise & celebrate the work of academics and universities as part of our annual Grads In Games awards.
If you run or lecture in a related course and would like more information on either our Search For A Star dev challenges or bringing the Get In The Game tour to your university, we’d love to hear from you. Email our Graduate Partnership Manager Nikita Lord for full details of how you can get involved.
