Information from the study

Almost all (99%) of the BUas alumni recruited by studios since 2016 have the IGAD/CMGT degree, and for a large majority (78%) it is their only degree, which attests to its remarkably well-designed and complete preparation and its correspondence with the requirements of the industry.

The main companies who have hired Breda University of Applied Sciences graduates since 2017 are:

Ubisoft 16 graduates in 5 countries: 7 game designers, 7 game artists, 1 tech artist, 1 engineer. Notable games: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Assassin's Creed Origins, The Curse of the Pharaohs.

These top recruiters employ mainly technical profiles: 39% of game designers and 21% programmers and engineers. 38% of artistic profiles were hired. Given the importance of these studios, the participation of young graduates in AAA projects is not a surprise.
