What makes TGA different

The Game Assembly is unique because of our industry-first approach. Everything we do is designed in partnership with game studios to ensure our students graduate ready to work in the real world. Approximately 10% of Sweden’s games industry professionals are TGA alumni, and our graduates are in demand across Europe, with many UK studios already hiring directly from us.
