Media Design School

Media Design School has been the leading provider of high end 3D Animation, Visual Effects and Game Development qualifications in New Zealand for over ten years.

Due to expansion the school is looking for talented, experienced game programmers to deliver programmes in Interactive Gaming and Game Development who can commit to either a fixed contract or fulltime employment.

Applicants with solid experience in C++, DirectX, knowledge of AI Systems and Algorithms (and ideally Path finding Systems / FX, Math, OOD/OOP, Scripting & UML) are invited to submit their interest.

Media Design School has been one of the more prominent gaming institutions in New Zealand for quite a while now, so it's pleasing to find out how rigorous and demanding their courses are for students looking into a challenging career in game development. So, how intensive is it? Well, first year drop out rates are very high, as remarked by a student currently studying there in an article over at voxy.co.nz.
