24 23 EduSpiral Consultant Services For more info call KDU VOICES Tan Tek Yan, Kalvin Diploma in Computer Studies, KDU University College, Malaysia, PhD in Computer Science, University of Northumbria at Newcastle, UK - Present I enjoyed a remarkable learning experience at KDU University College; from the technologyequipped classes to the support, encouragement and mentorship shown by the Computing department, the journey was invaluable. During my course of study, I relished in participating in technology-driven events organised by KDU as well as debating opinions with the lecturers. These positive experiences persuaded me to further pursue my education and to continually push myself beyond boundaries. I will continue to cherish KDU as part of my life s journey and am proud to celebrate their success amongst graduates. Poo Voon Kent Bachelor of Game Development (Hons), 2014 with First Class Honours 3D Game Artist at Streamline Studios What I love about the course is the fact that the content is pretty intensive and the lecturers are constantly on our backs to not just complete our work but to push it further. As I entered my first job, it was quite overwhelming as there were tons of things to pick-up on but thankfully the course really focused on preparing me to be ready to adapt to changes in game technology that affects me as an artist. It was a learning marathon with many late nights spent building up my skills but I d still recommend it to anyone wanting to jump into game development. Having said that, I d also like to warn any of those who are considering on enrolling that it sure isn t easy but it will get you the results if you are willing to put yourself into it. Oliver Clency Yeung Bachelor of Game Development (Hons), 2014 with First Class Honours Game Programmer TeratoTech International Student from Mauritius Studying Game Development in KDU was a unique and memorable experience. It really felt like everything was done to simulate a game development environment but within safe educational constraints. Projects are run just like how they are in the industry, with lecturers acting as producers and guiding students by helping them setting a scope and making sure deadlines are respected. I was also impressed by the course structure which allows students to experience the 3 main fields of Game Development before deciding in which one to specialise in. Even after choosing a field, flexible electives encouraged students to diversify. I found this really important as it makes it easier to collaborate when all members of a team have a good understanding of each other s roles. One of the things I also miss the most is the Area51 Game Studio which is the course s dedicated computer lab. It is a nice and cosy place to work and relax and it felt like a second home for me, especially during late night crunch hours.
