The games industry is continuing to grow at an astonishing rate and is now the highest grossing entertainment sector. The local region now has an abundance of high profile games companies such as Rockstar North, Red Kite Games and Rebellion all based in Yorkshire. Not only this but there are a number of well established university courses in the local area that supply new creative talent to the games industry.

Students in this course have been on trips and visits including visiting the National Science and Media Museum to experince retro games, York to reseach the architecture and see the National Railway Museum, and the Royal Armouries in Leeds to provide reference material for concept drawings. We also run trips to local universities for taster days and take part in activities run by Bradford based Impact Gamers. In recent years we have visited EGX in London which is the largest gaming showcase in the Uk.
