A fully funded place on our Certificate in Indie Games Development course for students holding the appropriate status either inside or outside the UK.
The UK includes England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We will not accept applications from students living outside of the UK.
All applicants for this scholarship must hold one of the following immigration statuses before applying to the School: ➢ UK asylum seeker
➢ UK discretionary leave to remain (as a result of an asylum application)
➢ UK limited leave to remain (as a result of an asylum application)
➢ Humanitarian protection (as a result of an asylum application)
• Be living in the UK and unable to access mainstream UK student funding due to their residency status at the point the application for the Scholarship is made.
