CSU a "goldmine"

1 JANUARY 2003

"When you find a goldmine, you keep digging," says Mark Green, Studio Communications Manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) of Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Games Technology course. Chip Bell, Michael Blaha and Daniel Hotop are all CSU graduates who travelled to England to undertake the industrial placement component of CSU’s Bachelor of Computer Science (Games Technology) degree. As a result, all three were offered employment at Sony’s Cambridge Studio. Mark Green says Sony is returning to CSU for more potential staff because “it is hard to get good quality staff members so we are going back to those universities who have supplied great people. We are just one of 14 studios worldwide and we are all looking for who is out there. And it is not just programming, we need art or design or production people as well”. Daniel Hotop is acting as the point of contact between SCEE and CSU. “If you told me four years ago that I would be working in England for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, I would not have believed you."
