   Help
  Can someone please help me out im looking for a university in Europe that focuses on game programming   
  Some universities where I live offer degrees in Game Graphics Programming / design, google "Manchester University" or "Derby university"Hope that helps   ;Quote:Ground rules- Use descriptive post titles. "OMG HELP PLZ!" is not only annoying, but it waste"s a lot of people"s time.I mean no offense of course :)Other than that, If I may add **my opinion** on this subject...I think a good demo, a lot of passion, a lot of self-acquired skills (learning resources are easily available) is better than the best university degree.That is what might get you in the private circle of professional game developpers. And when you get into that circle, the the experience you acquire in 1 or 2 years is even more valuable...What I mean is not that you shoulndt look for a university degree, I just mean that if you do not find what you are looking for, a lot of hope remains, as the best thing you can rely on is just: yourself.I say this because it's how I suceeded to get hired as a professionnal game developper with almost no experience at all (I just had a french engineer degree + 1 year of experience in a field non related to video games), and half a year later I have learnt and seen so much that I did think it would have been possible. And the best is that what I know and what i've seen is maybe - say - 0.01 % of what is still have to discover :)Well, in 4 words, what I meant is just: I love my job :)Cheers ;pEdit: on second thought I might have been a little off-topic :D So:If you dont mind - and are able to - coming to canada, you can try Ubisoft's university in Montreal)From what I see, here in quebec, more and more colleges are turning to video games, and the local industry is actively getting involved (presentations, courses, ...) mainly because it is a potential source of later recruitment of peaople trained exactly to fit their needs.Also, at the Laval University (Quebec, QC) I know for sure there are courses dedicated to game programming. A friend of mine attended that course, and he came up with a fully playable 1-level FPS programmed in java. The course duration is one session = 3 month.I dont know how it is anywhere else, but my company somehow tends to valueing the local universities a lot. So you might want to aim at specific geographic area to make a choice.   ;  This one will move to the Lounge now.
