There are now 81 different video games related degrees in British universities but only 4 are officially accredited by Skillset, the government body which monitors such courses. David Braben, chairman of Frontier Developments and a spokesman for "Games Up?", said: "95% of video gaming degrees are simply not fit for the purpose. Without some sort of common standard, like Skillset accreditation, these degrees are a waste of time for all concerned."
The games developers say that they are struggling to find in the UK the kind of high-powered mathematicians and computer scientists that they need to build increasingly sophisticated products.
"We are facing a serious decline in the quality of graduates looking to enter the industry," said David Braben.
"The dearth of maths, physics and computer science graduates is hitting us hard."
This just reiterates the fact that the classic subjects (Math, Sciences, History, English etc) are always the best subjects to take, no matter what career path you choose to follow.
Stay in school kids.
