Get Ready for a Great Career in Gaming

From our outstanding facilities to the chance to collaborate with practitioners across the creative sector and opportunities to meet industry leaders, we’re dedicated to getting our students prepared for employment. Recently, we have seen Games students enjoy considerable success at the GradsinGames 2020 competition, with three graduates placing in the top five. Douglas Brown, Director of the Games Academy said, “These students submitted portfolio pieces which they have been working on alongside and in addition to their full game projects, which only makes this an even more impressive achievement.”

Alumni Success

“As a student at Falmouth University I consider it a key part of the journey that got me to where I am now, and although this was before digital studies were taught there, I have been very impressed with the facilities, staff and students I have met when returning in more recent times. I’m really quite jealous of what is happening there now!”

– Rex Crowle, BAFTA Winning Game Artist and Designer, Media Molecule

” The studio space and resources on offer are top-notch. No other university even came close. I believe that without the set up I’d not have been able to grow in the same way. “

– Tom King, BA(Hons) Games Development
