CREATIVE INDUSTRIES CAREERS EVENT - Games Development
About the event
From Player to Creator: Your Games Development Journey Starts Here! Starting your Games Development journey at West College Scotland is the first step towards turning a passion for games into a future career. Our students begin by developing the creative and technical skills behind modern games — from designing characters, environments and gameplay ideas to programming and building playable experiences. As they progress through the course levels, they build skills, confidence and portfolio, preparing to move on to higher-level study, university or exciting careers within the games industry. They will hear from and about former students who started their Games Development journey at West College Scotland and have gone on to make their mark in the industry — from launching their own games companies to working with established studios on major titles and projects, including GTA VI.
