Based on my 3 years experience of studying at GAMES ACADEMY and the following 1 ½ years as a Character Artist at Crytek I can honestly say that the courses at GAMES ACADEMY are a great foundation to a successful start in the computer games industry. The limit to how successful you become really only depends on your own motivation and will. Whether you are pursuing a career as character artist, environment artist, prop- or concept artist, the GAMES ACADEMY is offering you the opportunity to gain all the knowledge and basic skills you need for a successful start in the industry.

From my talks to colleagues (people at Funcom come from over 30 different countries) I now know the education I took at the Games Academy to become a 3D Programmer is one of the best and most industry related there is. It not only opened me the way to live in Canada, but also helped me in achieving my ultimate goal: becoming a programmer for a MMO game developer. For everyone with a similar target here is a small equation: "Games Academy + hard work = dreams come true"

Game Design at Games Academy is like an orientation course - or a step into the most versatile sector of the branch. Find out for yourself what you want do with it. After finishing my Game Design education, I managed to step right away into industry. Through an apprenticeship at Related Designs I worked my way up to Game Designer and are now pleased to work on the Anno Serie. That´s how it works.
