CRC becomes first UK college to partner with Nintendo

Cambridge Regional College (CRC) is proud to announce its Level 3 Games Development course has partnered with Nintendo to develop games for the Nintendo Switch console – making it the only college setting in the UK to do so.

The partnership will see students on the University of the Arts London accredited Level 3 Games Development programme learn how to programme, artwork, design and audio their game under the tutelage of industry experts and its teaching team under CRC’s in-house games company Rizing Games UK.

Games Development Lead Michael Farrow-Killick, also a BAFTA member, said: “Including the Nintendo Switch platform to our ever-growing list of platforms continues to offer our students the unique experience of working with iconic companies and their technology. The course and Rizing Games UK have been leading the way for students to engage with professional platforms for 15 years, and as we welcome more platforms to our curriculum we welcome the next generation of games designers to join us in that journey.”

The link, unveiled via the BBC on Thursday 24^th October, commenced on 13^th September – meaning the first cohort of students has already begun working on their respective projects.

Over the duration of the two-year course, students will have the unique opportunity to work alongside Unity and Unreal, two of the world’s most popular game development engines, whilst attending industry engagement events across the UK.

Applications for 2025 entry are now open.
