Hear from our staff and students
“My goal was always to become a Games Designer, and thanks to Bath Spa that goal is now a reality”
I gained everything I needed to get my foot into the industry: creative thinking, leadership, management, work placements and programming experience, all alongside an extensive portfolio filled with my projects... This breadth of knowledge and showcase of work was the very core to getting where I am today.
