What Educational Program Are/Were You In?

We all come from a diversity of educational backgrounds. Some of us are in Middle School, and other may have PhD's. Some may be in game design. Others may be educated in a totally different field.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree with Honours in Computer Science, specialising in Game Programming and with a year of industry experience.

Industry experience in university is invaluable. If you have an opportunity to work at a game studio then you must take it, you will be a thousand times better than your peers at the end of it.

Graduated top of my school in that year with project of the year award for my final year project (made a game engine and wrote an analysis as to why it sucked so much).
The work I did in that university is now used as teaching material there (I also helped plan and design the course for future students at the end).

I actually have a background in psychology (not that it's much use to me any more). My other half and I had our own consultancy business when we were in Canada, successful for 6 years before circumstances prevailed and it had to close. I also have degrees (and degree equivalents) in English and Creative Writing; I used to teach at seminars and online too. Most of my qualifications are in the fields of troubleshooting and computer repairs, which are seriously outdated now. I was never really interested in school. I hated it and wanted to do my own thing, specifically game development, so when I had the opportunity to it was not received very well by family and I pursued the troubleshooting/repairs instead, as well as web design, as they considered that a "real" job.

Geography over here, just a diploma though. Left for a new course in computing. Experience in (team) web and (solo) game dev.

I'm in school year 11 (secondary level I) right now. Eh that's it, isn't it?

I am in school year 12, senior high school or something? About to graduate in 3 months if everything runs smoothly. No other degrees or what so ever. Hoping to get accepted for a graphic design study next year XD

I have earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree, majoring in Psychology and minoring in English.

Further Education includes: 1 semester towards a Master's of Art in Teaching, and 1 year towards a Bachelor's of Art in Theological Studies.

Much of my education has come from tutoring undergraduate and graduate students, specializing in MBA and law School.
