Trinity College gets industry backing

Trinity College’s new Interactive Entertainment Technology masters degree is to be backed by several industry heavyweights.

The course, the establishment of which we reported last month, is the first of its kind in Ireland. In addition to a Microsoft-sponsored XNA Gamelab, the course will be supported by Demonware and Radical Entertainment.

Course director Dr. Steven Collins, previously co-founder and CTO of Havok, said: “Interactive entertainment is one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of global industry right now, and presents a fantastic opportunity for students and individuals.

“The quality of this course, coupled with the support of industry leaders such as Microsoft, Demonware and Radical Entertainment provides students with access to the very latest thinking, techniques and technology.
