Qantm's ground-breaking educational vision comes to the UK! With such a vibrant games, web and multimedia industry, the UK was always going to be a prime choice to benefit from a Qantm educational facility. Now a brand new college is opening in London to meet the demands of a flourishing local industry keen to employ the best students for some of the most exciting careers.
Qantm UK combines the knowledge and expertise of the award-winning Australian courses with the international experience of the SAE Group. The Qantm UK courses include Games Programming, 3D Animation and Web Design & Development and will replace SAE's existing interactive entertainment and web courses.
SAE's current interactive entertainment and web design courses are run through the company's facility in North Road college in London alongside the Audio Engineering/Electronic Music and Digital Film Making courses. The new Qantm courses will have their own brand new and dedicated campus, also in London. The facility will be equipped with the latest technology and a wide enough variety of hardware and software to help give a solid grounding to students in all common work practices in the industry.
Experience from the Australian Qantm course shows that working closely with the industry yields great dividends in terms of relevant and practical course content and, consequently, higher employment opportunities. Qantm UK will follow this important and successful direction, providing very industry focused courses with the flexibility to allow specialization in specific areas of the industry. As such the Interactive Entertainment course opens with broad teaching on fundamental and key areas of both games design and 3D animation before providing more advanced units in which students can specialize in a topic such as character animation/texturing or movement programming. The Web Design & Development course will enable students to achieve an advanced understanding of the principles and practice of professional web design and development. They also include the option to progress to a degree course verified by Middlesex University.
Qantm UK has already established relationships with several important companies in the UK to make sure that the course content is both relevant, practical and hands on. Students will also be offered access to several industry bodies and contacts to further their experience. Those completing the Qantm UK courses can be safe in the knowledge that their experiences will hold them in good stead no matter what areas of the industry they wish to specialise in.
As with the Australian Qantm course the UK version will tap the expertise of the local industry, bringing several key figures into the college to present their experiences and knowledge to students – a view from 'the inside' that could prove invaluable.
With the games market exploding with next-generation activity and web designers in such high demand there's never been a better time to consider a career in interactive entertainment and new media. And there's never been a better educational opportunity than with a Qantm course to help you realise that dream.
