I'm going to a convention in Bristol today looking at universities and was wondering what in your opinion is the best university to study game development for programmers or just computer science.

Abertay University in Dundee has a very good reputation. You might want to check there. They also have a lot of initiatives to support graduates and help them find/create a job for themselves in the industry. Personally I went to Glasgow Caledonian University. Their reputation isn't as good, but the course was great. When I did the course it was basically all programming, but a little bit of design, management and art thrown in. Now, they have apparently changed the course a bit to create two separate courses, one for design and one for the programming. As for which university will actually give you a qualification that will help you become a games developer, I'm not sure. Personally I've never applied for a job in the industry as I got myself a job, just after graduation, which involved basic physics simulation. However, I believe the general advice is, "if you want to be a games programmer, do generic computer science and work hard". |
