Academic Background: Digital Production, Design and Development T-Level, New College Durham
Industrial Placement: 315 hours T-Level Placement (Gateshead)
Areas of Interest:
Challenge
The biggest challenge was getting to the site, which is due to it being far away from home and public transport not being very regular and reliable. Ideally I would have liked it to fit the college schedule of 9-4.
Outcome
My problem-solving skills have really improved as an outcome of the placement.
Impact
The placement has shown me that game development and Unreal has quite a big impact on the industry. I hadn’t realised quite how big the industry was before working on this project.
