20 students from the
Diploma in Information Technology (Game Development Option) got the ultimate treat: a once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Ubisoft Singapore office. The out-of-classroom experience brought them face-to-face with professionals from the game development leader, Ubisoft, publisher and developer of AAA mega-hit games, such as the Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon series.
Hearing it from the experts like Game Programmer Lee Chi Shan
During the visit, they gained an in-depth understanding of the roles and best practises of game development teams. For the cherry on the cake, they even got to meet their real-life heroes who are working on their favourite games.
