“After I trained myself to do computer programming and working in an IT firm, I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy academic life. That’s why I enrolled on Stow’s HNC Computer Games Development before considering university. The teaching is excellent and I’ve enjoyed working with the 3D modelling software. One of the great things about the HNC is that it gives you the chance to be creative and artistic as well as technical.”
