Vodka_7up Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 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)?
Jetsetlemming Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 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.
Vodka_7up Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks for the super fast reply. Then let me ask another question, what would be a ideal degree to get so I can land a level designer job?

Ginger Lord Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 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.
