Bournemouth & Poole College’s CGI department named Epic Games Academic Partner

Bournemouth & Poole College’s CGI department is going from strength to strength, having recently been named as an Unreal Academic Partner of Epic Games.

This status recognises The College’s use of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine to train the next generation of developers of interactive, real-time experiences. Bournemouth & Poole College is proud to deliver courses using real industry tools to provide students with the technical skills and experience they need to succeed in their careers.

Stuart Palmer, Director of Learning of Creative Industries at Bournemouth & Poole College, said “Unreal Engine 5 is the world's most advanced real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences. Our recent successful application to Epic Games for Unreal Academic Partnership aligns the College at the cutting edge of creative digital education. The partnership with Epic Games also provides us with access to essential learning resources for our 3D CGI Degree as well as important access to Epic Games opportunities. This success marks the start of a significant era in the College’s journey and should be celebrated and recognised as an important step in our ambition to becoming world class educators.”
