UCAS Application
I applied to 5 different universities using UCAS because after doing my own research most people in the Gaming industry have spent either 3 or more years at university or the same amount of time balancing their small jobs and their career practice.
After finding this out I decided I would rather spend my time at university practising then attempt to balance full-time work and my practice. I used the UCAS map view option on their search page to find universities near me and then looked on each individual websites at their courses and course information.
Above you can see the information I entered into my UCAS application after I completed all the required sections and made my course choices.
My chosen courses
Underneath is the list of choices I made when choosing my university courses.
The following images show the research I have done on the different course I have chosen taking in information such as duration content and the UCAS codes. While researching the different courses
In the aforementioned images you can see the notes I have taken into account when researching the different courses, for example, I have looked at the amount of time the course lasts and what I will be learning on the course.
The two screenshots above show that I have completely read through the whole web pages regarding the course for each of the universities I have found. You can see

Personal Statement
My personal statement is the first thing an employer or a university and therefore must not contain any mistakes and argue to the reader why I should be chosen for their job or course. I have used some spelling and grammar checkers to make sure my mistakes are changed along with getting someone else to read my writing.
Making Portfolio’s
I’ve created 2 online portfolios on different sites so I am more likely to be seen by other professionals and large companies. The websites I have used to create and post these portfolios are Art station, which is a professional art website containing jobs and weekly art challenges, along with Deviant Art where artists can share and sell their artwork.
Above is an image of the albums I have added to my Art Station profile allowing other users to see my 3D modelling, Sketching and Digital painting skills.
