TGA UK

05/10/2026

Three weeks ago, Chenelle started at TGA with a love of games, an eye for design and a passion to learn.

She arrived with zero experience in game development and had never opened a game engine before.

In just a few weeks, her understanding of Level Design has gone from strength to strength. She is now working as part of a development team and taking responsibility for the design of her very first game.

Before Christmas, Chenelle will have helped create two games and built multiple playable level designs — learning, testing, taking feedback and improving with every project.

This is what progress looks like.

You don’t need to arrive knowing everything. You need curiosity, commitment and the willingness to learn.

Chenelle owns her craft.

London, come and meet The Game Assembly!

We’re heading to UCAS Create Your Future at ExCeL London on 13–14 October, bringing a taste of our Liverpool game development studio with us.

Thinking about studying Game Art, Game Programming or Level Design? Come and talk to us about learning your craft, working in a team and making games from the start.

At TGA, students work together in the studio five days a week, developing their independence and problem-solving skills with experienced tutors alongside them. Our studio partners contribute directly to their learning, connecting their projects with the realities of game development.

Find out what that could look like for you, explore our courses and ask us the questions that matter to your next step.

A place to find your team, build your skills and make games from the start.

That’s what we’re building at The Game Assembly Liverpool. Our students study Game Art, Game Programming or Level Design, then bring those skills together through practical game projects. They make things, test their ideas, learn from feedback and grow as part of a team.

If you’re considering where to study in 2027, come and see the studio for yourself. Meet our students and tutors, explore the courses and play the games.

Applications for 2027 are open. Find out more at https://thegameassembly.ac.uk

Great start to Week 1 for our new cohort at The Game Assembly!

Straight into the thick of it and already we have three games in production, playtesting underway and feedback being shared across the studio.

Our second years return next week, but for now the studio is all theirs — and they’re making the most of it.

Want to make games and build a career in the games industry?

Applications for 2027 are now open.

Introducing The Game Assembly UK’s very first Artist in Residence — Glen Southern!

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Glen as our first Artist in Residence at The Game Assembly UK.

Glen has been a friend, mentor and huge influence on me for many years, so having him become part of what we are building in Liverpool is something I’m especially proud of.

One of the things we are most proud of at TGA is the strength of the team already working directly with our students. Our tutors bring substantial industry experience, specialist knowledge and a real understanding of what it takes to work professionally in games.

Glen’s arrival builds on that strength, adding another specialist perspective to an already experienced and wide-ranging team.

Glen is a Senior Lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and runs SouthernGFX, a studio specialising in character and creature design. His clients include SKY, Netflix, LEGO, Nike, Adidas, Wacom and more.

He has used and taught ZBrush for over 27 years, is a Wacom Ambassador for the UK and Ireland, an accredited Gravity Sketch trainer, and received a VES nomination for his contribution to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.

For our students, this means even more access to the right people, experiences, feedback and guidance to help them become genuinely industry ready.

Welcome to TGA, Glen. We can’t wait to have you in the studio.

Look what arrived today from our wonderful friends at Wacom👀

We’re so excited to get these onto the desks as our artists begin their sculpting module to round off an amazing first year at The Game Assembly UK.

I think our programmers are feeling a little left out though… so I may need to put some thought into solving that next.

Industry tech for an industry training environment. A huge thank you to Wacom for supporting our learners and helping us build the kind of studio culture we want them to experience from day one.
