I want an Internship in the UK as a game programmer!
I've been applying to all sorts of internships when I was doing my MSc such as Ubisoft, EA, Eutechnyx and CPP, but not a single soul replied to even offer an interview.
And now, I find myself want to give it one last try (before I give up) to get into the games industry.
Does anyone know any internships or Graduate prositions as a programmer in the UK?
EDIT: my website is - www.dannychen.co.uk
Hey. For a start I would have posted your website on this thread!
Networking is key too, sounds like you are from the North East (based on companies you have applied to?) if so there have been LOADS of events this year, as well as offers for students at conferences like GameHorizon.
Another event is Game Dev Drink (which happens semi frequently) but you get guys from Eutechnyx , Thumbstar and Reflections attending, also there is going to be another Mobile Mingle held in January which is worth going to.
Linked in is a good site to use to get introductions but I have found it only has real value when backed up with at least some *real life* contacts.
Anyway, good luck!
hi James,
Many thanks for the advice. I've googled on this GameHorizon thing, but can't get any info on it. Can you tell me a bit more about it such as when and where is it held?
Many Thanks
