Today Skillset awarded its rare seal of approval to the University of Abertay Dundee's Professional Masters in Computer Games Development course.

It brings the total of Skillset accredited courses to ten. Develop has compiled the list of each, found below.

Well, the University of Derby Computer Games Modeling & Animation is not Skillset accredited, but boasts strong links with local video games developers and is run by former Industry Professionals with a high application rate.

Skillset isnt everything, its what the courses produce that counts, and Derby is high on quality.
