Working in Industry

Our students work with local, national and international organisations to enhance their learning through placements, workshops, live briefs and guest lectures from industry professionals.   

Learning in a hands on environment and from professionals that have a wealth of knowledge allows you to be as prepared as possible once you leave university.

We work in partnership with Unity and Unreal - This means that we have met strict standards of excellence and are authorised to offer training courses and Unity Certification Exams on behalf of Unity Technologies.
