Visit from industry guru, Peter Molyneux

Watch the interview with Peter Molyneux, who recently came to visit our Games students. 

Peter, and Lionhead Studios, are behind the award winning Fable series of games.

  • Our purpose built dual head dedicated Microsoft and Sony games labs are the envy of industry. You'll feel like you're working in a commercial game development studio.
  • We work closely with industry. We're the only UK university to have the full source code to Emergent's Gamebryo games engine.
  • Our current placement students are receiving great reviews from their employers who include Lionhead, Blitz, Kuju, Eurocom and Monumental.
  • You'll get the skills you need from our ex-industry lecturers to get a job in this competitive sector.
  • In 2010, 10 teams from the University of Derby made it through to the semi-final round of the Imagine Cup, Mircosoft's worldwide competition for compter game programmers. Find out more about the competition.

Our students are the lucky ones! If you think you've got what it takes to develop cutting-edge video games, find out more about our degrees now.
