Ubisoft and Quebec to Create GameDev Courses
Ubisoft and the Canadian government are coordinating to create a game development university on the scenic Ubisoft campus, reports Gamespot. Marking continued cooperation between Ubisoft and the Quebecois government, the new 'university' would be in direct competition with EA's similar program set in California. From the article: "Ubisoft Campus students will receive degrees accredited by Québec's Ministry of Education. For undergraduates, each study program will be 45 weeks long, divided into three 15-week terms. The school will also offer master's programs in computer science and software engineering, with added courses in digital imaging and electronics."
Actually, they are creating the program with the University of Sherbroke, south of Montreal. It's probably some sort of program where someone takes the normal courses the first year and a half and then the second year and a half you specialize yourself in game programming instead of taking other optional classes like you normally do during you last year.
i dont know, but i know one thing: you can learn french, it wont kill you. We frenchies all learned english out of necessity, you live in a bilingual country, why not oblige?
They are offering Masters in Comp Sci. SO I imagine it is for students with Undergrad degrees that want a master specializing in Game programming. If this is in English I would consider taking it. Anyone have a link to the official University website offering the courses?
