Gaming Industry links
Work with leading gaming studios
Derby is at the centre of a network of games studios spanning the East Midlands region. Here at the University we have direct links with many of these studios, along with a number of other software development companies, including Microsoft.
Our current placement students are receiving great reviews from their companies in industry which include Lionhead, Blitz and Kuju. You'll enjoy visits to both national and international gaming events, guest lectures from leading industry developers and a host of games competitions and regular local events. These are important opportunities to liaise with working professionals and form a greater understanding of the games industry.
Working with Emergent
We continue to tie in our programmes with the games industry. We're previously working with Emergent's Gamebryo, who have had recent top seller hits such as Fallout 3. Our final year students are currently battling to get as much experience with it before they graduate.
