Skills shortage hits games firms

Postby Blink on Fri Jun 20, 2008 2:52 pm

Just saw this article, looks like the UK needs more programmers:

The games developers say that they are struggling to find in the UK the kind of high-powered mathematicians and computer scientists that they need to build increasingly sophisticated products.

"We are facing a serious decline in the quality of graduates looking to enter the industry," said David Braben.

"The dearth of maths, physics and computer science graduates is hitting us hard."
