Degree needed to be a level designer?

    Hi, this is my first post so If it's in the wrong place I apologize in advance.

    I've been looking around level designer job openings and keeping find under the non essential requirements that a bachelor's degree or equivilant is desired. Exactly what kind of degree are they looking for (sorry if this is super obvious)?

    As far as I understand it they're not looking specifically for any degree, but rather a college education in general. Never take a job posting's requirements as written in stone, though.

    My advice is to do a general media based degree rather than a specific computer games degree. That way if it turns out you don't like the industry you don't have a paperweight degree.

    I did mine in BA(Hons) Multimedia Design & Digital Animation which covered traditional 2D design, traditional animation, digital animation and modelling, web design, flash design and more.
