We have noticed that many of our students and graduates alike have moved to LinkedIn to share their successes and network with like-minded people. We are also starting to get requests from industry who are adopting the platform to network and support their search for new talent.

Whilst staff are already active on LinkedIn, we feel it is time to create a single location for all the amazing talent that comes out of our course to network and connect, but also to help us keep in touch when students graduate.

As such we have finally bit the bullet and created a LinkedIn page for UWE Games Tech. If you already have a LinkedIn profile (and if not, you should get one) please click the link below and request to join us:
