We started as a small community, created by grads to address the huge gap between education and landing a role.
We want to change the entry level space, open pathways into games and raise awareness for adjacent fields.

"When Grads in Games closed its doors in 2024, it left a massive gap in the UK games ecosystem. For years, it was an essential pillar for students trying to break into the industry. We are officially bringing it back."
