“I was heading for a career in Accounting but found myself not enjoying school anymore and really struggling to motivate myself to study. I spoke to my Careers Adviser and when she asked me what my dream job would be, I said a Games Designer. We researched what courses were available in this area and I chose to study at Carshalton College. The College is conveniently close to home and more importantly, it had the course I wanted to study.
College is different to being at school but I was quick to get used to the change and really enjoy being here. There is plenty of support and I am learning a great deal.
Our first major assignment was to produce a 3-minute animation. I got carried away with this and ended up with a 13-minute video! I was pleased with the feedback I received from my tutor who felt it was an advanced piece of programming.
My tutors are enthusiastic and make the course so interesting. I would really recommend the course to anyone who wants to take a passion for Games as a hobby to the next level and hopefully into a Games career.
I have been offered a place at London Southbank University to study for a BA (Hons) in Games Design.”
