"Graduates in the UK face an increasingly tough time getting a job in the games industry, and university courses aren't necessarily the best means of preparation."
Matthew Jeffrey, Electronic Art's head of Global Talent Brand, warns that a lot of the gaming degrees don't prepare graduates for a career in the game industry. He advises students to look towards traditional degrees so that they have options available to them.
There are a lot of gaming degree programs out there. Make sure that you are researching the best path to getting a job in the game industry as well as one that provides you some flexibility to work in other fields.
