We are The Game Assembly

One of the best schools for game design and game development in the world.

Consistently ranked among the world’s top game development and design schools by The Rookies, The Game Assembly (TGA) is where a passion for games meets world-class education and real-life industry collaboration.

With approximately 10% of Sweden’s game industry professionals counting themselves as TGA alumni, our impact on the field is both significant and enduring. Over the years, our interns have joined leading UK studios such as Avalanche, Studio Gobo, Frontier, Cloud Imperium Games, and many more, solidifying our growing connection with the UK industry.

Our innovative study model blends agile, team-based projects with hands-on learning, mirroring the workflows of real-world game development studios. Since our founding in Malmö in 2008 and expansion to Stockholm in 2019, TGA has equipped aspiring developers with the skills, experience, and mindset needed to thrive in the games industry.

TGA launches a program that changes the game

Now, as we prepare to launch our newest campus in Liverpool, we are thrilled to bring our globally recognized programs in Game Programming, Level Design, and Game Art to the UK. This marks a new chapter in our mission to help passionate students turn their dreams into careers in the games industry.

Partnerships

At TGA, our partnerships with leading game companies are at the core of our mission to deliver education that’s fully aligned with industry demands. An active advisory board, composed of experienced professionals from top studios, ensures our curriculum remains relevant and future-focused.

Through regular guest lectures and workshops from experts at renowned game companies, our students gain invaluable insights into current trends, workflows, and expectations. These connections not only enrich the learning experience but also provide opportunities to build professional networks, setting you up for a successful career in the games industry.

We’re privileged to partner with City of Liverpool College, who support us in accrediting our courses and guiding us on our educational journey in the UK. Their expertise helps ensure we meet the highest educational standards, creating the best possible learning experience for our students.

TGA – A part of the games industry

The Game Assembly has a close collaboration with the games industry which guarantees that the content of the education will correspond to the employment market of future employees.

Is game your passion?

The courses keep a high pace and demand humility and receptiveness for feedback. This is why TGA is looking for people with a passion for games, with drive and determination, along with a strong ability to co-operate.

Why UK? And why now?

The UK game industry has demonstrated a strong interest in TGA for many years, with studios hiring our interns straight out of education for roles in programming, design, art, and animation. UK-based studios have even traveled to Sweden to recruit talent developed through our courses.

By establishing a campus in the UK, we aim to bridge the current skills gap and make it easier for studios to connect with our highly skilled graduates locally, while also meeting the growing demand for game developers.

We’ve achieved great success collaborating with studios in Sweden, and now, by working directly with our UK partners, we can ensure our programs remain aligned with the evolving needs of the industry. This move strengthens our commitment to delivering world-class talent tailored to the demands of the UK games sector.
