Sean won both Outstanding Achievement and Student of the Year for Games Production in 2023. “I enjoy the freedom of the course and the fact that you are not held back on what you can do. There are so many opportunities to take part in, and if you need help you can always ask as the tutors are happy to help.”
Sean Wilkes
Level 3 Year 2 Games Production Student
When undertaking a Games Production or Esports course here at SSC, you will be introduced to all sections of the gaming industry. These areas include audio production and editing, video production and editing, graphic design principles as well as fundamental game engine concepts and research skills. The gaming industry encompasses all these areas, so it is vital that you are exposed to all these study options. Whilst studying at Lichfield College, you will also be immersed in student life. Lichfield College already has a large gaming community where multiplayer gaming battles regularly take place.
Our Foundation Degree in Computer Games Design through the University of Staffordshire is designed to progress and enhance the skills and techniques previously studied from a Level 3 games course, to prepare you for either further study at Level 6, or in readiness for your employment in the gaming industry.
At South Staffordshire College our students come first, and everything we do is aimed at helping you to realise your full potential. We are about careers not courses and our expert staff will make sure you have the skills and knowledge needed to give you that competitive edge for when you start your career within your chosen industry.
As a school leaver, you will be treated as an adult, within a friendly and supportive environment.
