Northumbria's games degrees are very highly thought of by the games industry. Speaking about the Software engineering degree the MD of a local games company gave the following quotes:
"The level of talent and enthusiasm displayed by graduates from the course is a credit to Northumbria University."
"A strong mix of theory and practice makes this course a winner."
"For a course that teaches the theory and the practical skills to develop games, Northumbria Uni's course is second to none."
Speaking about the Design and Production degree, a studio executive at Ubisoft said "There is a shortage of good game designers in the industry. This programme really hits the nail on the head with the right curriculum."
