Have you got any tips for applying?
We caught up with some of our team members who started as graduates. Here are their top tips:
"Your portfolio is the most important thing, show your best stuff first & make it impressive!" - Junior Programmer.
"The best advice I could give is to have a good portfolio website and to have it look good, clean, and elegant. People don’t want to scroll through a million animations like an iPhone webpage to get the information and details of your projects. Fill it with projects you do outside of the classroom. Made a mod or a game that you have published? Showcase it! Make it diverse as well, different genres of games, different aspects of programming such as UI, Gameplay and Physics can showcase your ability to learn and your passion to dive deeper into the vast world of programming." - Junior Programmer.
"As a tip for graduates looking to land a job at Ubisoft/the wider games industry, I’d say that good university grades are great but a good portfolio is essential. With Graduate/Junior games development positions being so sought after, it’s important that you’re able to not just demonstrate your best work but also be able to talk about it in detail. For example, why did you make the artistic/design/technical decisions that you did? What was the most challenging aspect of creating the work? How could you improve your work if given more time? With all this is mind however, it’s worth mentioning that we don’t expect our Graduates/Juniors to know everything! We’re mostly looking for a solid artistic/design/technical foundation and strong future potential." - Junior Gameplay Programmer.
