The array of gaming degrees available to university students in the UK fail to ”equip students for work”, the Daily Mail reports.
Sony’s Jamie MacDonald can’t even remember the last time he ”employed someone from them.” Bad news for Britain, let’s hope these courses get drop kicked soon.
”The number of computer games degrees on offer in Britain has almost doubled over the past three years to more than 80,” writes the Daily Mail.
”But Skillset, the body that represents the ‘creative media’ industry, has only approved four courses as fully meeting employers’ needs.”
Frontier Development’s David Braben said he was ”shocked and surprised” at just how little these graduates actually knew.
Sadly the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills won’t do anything about it, saying that Universities have free rein over what courses they offer - rubbish or otherwise.
