Testimonial

At the Image Processing and Multimedia Technology Center, I gained knowledge in video game development based on a theoretical and practical approach. Programming, the major area covered on the degree course, has become my profession. I would highlight the experience of creating my own video game engine and using it to develop a game. A lecturer encouraged me to apply for the King Women in Games grant in the third year, and I was one of the people selected to attend the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and to do an internship as a programmer at the King studio in Barcelona.
Sandra Álvarez García, graduate in Video Game Design and Development
Testimonial
During the bachelor's degree course I learned about game design, 2D and 3D animation and programming, which ended up becoming my passion. The project-based learning in combination with a great deal of working independently gave me the habits, attitudes and methodologies to become a better video game developer. In the fourth year of my bachelor's degree course, I did a placement at SEAT through the Image Processing and Multimedia Technology Center job exchange, and I subsequently found a job there. From there, I moved to Ubisoft Barcelona with an internship contract.
