Qantm opens first UK college

Australian private college Qantm is to open the doors to its first UK facility in Islington, London, on November 22.

The college already has facilities in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne that provide Diploma and Bachelor qualifications in animation, digital video, games programming, graphic design and multimedia disciplines.

"The UK was always going to be a prime choice to benefit from a Qantm educational facility," commented Nic Oliver, marketing manager for Qantm.

"Thereâs a thriving game development community here which is crying out for skilled graduates.

"We are bringing our 11 years of experience in Australia to offer relevant and practical courses that will allow the UK to continue punching above its weight as the games industry continues its explosive growth."

Qantm works closely with development studios in Australia, and hopes to establish similar relationships with some of the UKs leading development teams.

"Qantmâs courses are run by instructors with solid industry experience and offer students a real insight into the game development process," offered Steve Stamatiadis, creative director of Krome Studios.
