I studied at the postgraduate level in Dundee, on the Master of Professional Practice in Games Development course at the University of Abertay Dundee.
The Professional Masters at Abertay serves both as a traditional taught Masters programme, as well as a semi-emulation of studio work. Alongside classes, a number of projects had to be completed alongside classwork in teams made up of various disciplines. The course required a full time workload due to these Projects and ran for 12 months.

Mí (from the Chinese, 谜, meaning puzzle) was the first
project I completed at my time at the University of Abertay
Dundee, and the final one completed without the involvement of an
external client - making it the only project completed at my time
at the university that did not have outside stakeholders.
The project was completed using Marmalade SDK with the final objective being a game that could be ported to the Windows 8 Phone platform.

This project is currently under protection of an NDA, it was the
second project I completed during my time at the University of
Abertay Dundee. The project was split into two phases,
with most of the work I completed on the project occuring in the
first phase of the project.
The project was completed using Unity3D with the final objective being a game that could be released on the iOS appstore.

'Mouse Journey' is the public name of a game project
currently in use for marketing an unanounced Hollywood film
project slated for filming in Scotland, London, and India. The
project was comissioned to serve as part of a larger transmedia
project alongside smaller game apps, and comic books.
The project was created using Unreal Development Kit (based on
Unreal Engine 3) with the final objective being an executable
PC-ready game (with a focus on high-quality graphics) for use at
client presentations.
