 Hi, I'm Yasmina Lagren and I studied game design and development, specializing in programming. I come from Romania, where I've been playing games most of my life and in high school I studied computer science. Greenwich was one of the few that actually had a course for game design and development. The course was very practical. It was based mostly on coursework, so I built a really nice portfolio around it. The academics were very supportive and also they pushed you a little bit to just do your best. For example, in my final year, I decided to switch to another game engine, which was very challenging at that time, but it was actually one of the things that helped me the most to secure a graduate role. So we have a lot of people from the games industry coming in and talking to us. They tell you what are the specialties or what you can go into the industry, what are the steps. It matters a lot of experience and what you put into your work. After I've graduated, the lecturers still kept in touch with us and then got us tickets to a lot of game events. So for example, I went to a game event recently where I have spoke with a company. I applied to that job and because I got this interaction, this networking that I built, that actually helped me to secure the job. After graduating, I am going into a job now. As a graduate, I just feel like it's a great opportunity for me to learn and also to see how it is to work in a company environment.
