TIGA introduced the TIGA Accreditation process in January 2015 to ensure that universities and colleges can produce graduates with industry relevant skills – the system accredits the very best undergraduate and postgraduate university courses, enabling both prospective students and game developers to identify those courses that are producing industry ready graduates.
