🎄✨ It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
and this December, we’re adding a sprinkle of holiday magic by introducing Abingdon & Witney College’s Advent Calendar 2024 🎅.
and this December, we’re adding a sprinkle of holiday magic by introducing Abingdon & Witney College’s Advent Calendar 2024 🎅.
We have a wide range of specialist software installed on our PC builds, including Abobe Creative Suite, games engines and modelling software (Unity and Maya) and 3ds Max.
Immerse yourself in the latest trends and developments in game designs on our trips to conventions such as MCM Comic Con, London, and Animex International Festival of Animation and Computer Games! Make unforgettable memories as you meet industry leaders, the big names in gaming, and enjoy hundreds of other exhibitors.
Our Creative Production and Games Development courses, based in Witney, teach the practical and technical skills needed before your first step into the rapidly expanding gaming sector.
You will work on character, story and game world development using the latest specialist software, projecting your imagination into 2D and 3D environments and turning concept art into real creations. It's all about finding your own voice and what interests you most in this field.
By undertaking projects in a variety of game-related areas, you will gain a sound skills base in understanding and researching the gaming sector. Like all our creative subjects, this will culminate in the final term where you will produce a final major project (FMP), which is driven by you.
Before joining Abingdon & Witney College, Peter worked in the Computer Games industry where his background in Fine Art had led him to a career as a 3D computer graphics artist.
Peter joined the College as a Lecturer on the Games Development course, teaching at our Witney Campus.
"Through the Games Development course, I get to work with a diverse range of students who share my passion. I try to inspire each student to have just as much or more enthusiasm about their area of study as I do.
The teaching staff here are 'real' and self-directed, and you can quickly see that they have their students back and look out for their best interest."

Wood Green School
My favourite part of the course is drawing character designs, using the great computing tech that they have here.
I find this subject interesting and I've always known this what I want to do. This college was the best choice for me and I'm enjoying everything about the course and how it feels here, as I have much more freedom than I had at school.
Previous school:
Faringdon Community College
It’s an interesting subject with room for very challenging lessons, where you can set a high ceiling for yourself. The classes have given a me sense of ‘guided freedom’, a chance to find out what I'm really in to learning about, and so far they’ve been super enjoyable.
The computers are well-kitted out and it's the only college with an Escape Studios animation course in the area.
I know that by studying here, it's going to lead to the career I'm most interested in.
Previous school:
Bartholomew School
This college and my tutor are forming me into the best games developer I can be, as I'm set challenges to meet that keep testing my abilities.
I really enjoy games and I’ve made lots of new friends here, so it's great being able to do a course that I love and be sociable too.
