Recent Graduate Quotes
“The MSc was demanding, but very enjoyable. Before, despite my 2.1 Computer Science degree, I found it impossible to get a job in games programming. After finishing I got 3 offers, and I'm now working as a software
engineer at Rare.”
Laurie Cheers, Graduate MSc 2003
"I honestly advise anybody who wants to get into the games industry to take the MSc in Games programming at Hull University. The experience acquired in the MSc was vital for the development of my career. If you are not afraid of working insane hours and to change your life apply for this MSc, you will not regret it."
Francisco Viciana Ruiz, Graduate MSc 2003
"After getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering, I found it difficult to break my way into the Games Industry.

Yacine Salmi Graduate 2004
“Deciding to undertake the challenge of an MSc. in Games Programming at Hull University proved very rewarding. It “delivered” my foreseen goal of breaking into the games industry by aiding me to develop a superb portfolio of physics and graphics based demonstrations. This has provided me with a promising beginning at Gizmondo Studios in Manchester and has left me with some great memories. Many thanks to the Staff at Hull University”
Matt Ryan Graduate 2004
“After finishing my bachelors degree I knew it would be tough breaking into the industry with no demos and very little confidence. By the time I'd finished the MSc I had plenty of both and loads of great new friends.”
George Brown Graduate 2004
“I applied for loads of games jobs before the MSc and got nowhere and I have got a job now before the end of the course”
Phillipa Leighton 2005 MSc Cohort
"Studying the MSc Games Programming course opened up a whole new world for me that I wasn't even aware existed. It provided the opportunity to look at some of the most advanced games programming techniques in use in the games industry, topics that were not even considered at undergraduate level, and was a lot of fun too!"
Daniel Bradburn Graduate 2004
"The knowledge of complex physics and geometry taught on the MSc gives us, as graduates an edge in the industry. We are able to understand any new problems such as local prediction and rendering terrain more easily. Because of the Dissertation we're already skilled at doing research and reporting the results. So I think the background knowledge learnt during the course pays off over time."
