Vancouver Film School has been ranked among the top game design schools in North America by The Princeton Review.
In PRJ’s official 2022 list of Top 50 Game Design Schools, VFS was ranked #1 of all Canadian institutions and took the #14 spot overall.
Vancouver Film School’s accelerated Game Design program allows its students to specialize as a Game Artist, Coder, or Level Designer in just 12 months for the world’s largest entertainment industry, catering to 2.5 billion gamers worldwide and set to be worth $257 billion by 2025.
Other schools included in the 2022 list include University of Southern California, New York University, Clark University, Rochester Institute of Technology, and DigiPen Institute of Technology.
“VFS is proud to have once again received this prestigious honour from The Princeton Review. Our curriculum is truly on the cutting edge of the game industry, as demonstrated by our multiple student Unity Award wins, and to be named #1 in Canada is indicative of just how definitively our 12-month program prepares our students for successful careers in the video game industry,” said Christopher Mitchell, Head of Game Design at VFS.
The Princeton Review chose the colleges and grad schools for their 2022 list based on a survey conducted in 2021. 150 institutions were surveyed, all of which offer game design coursework and/or degrees. The final selection was based on criteria including academic offerings in game design, faculty credentials, career outcomes, and more. The Princeton Review first developed this survey in 2009.
VFS alumni are consistently credited on the highest grossing films, television shows, and games worldwide, in a global industry set to generate USD $2.1 trillion in revenue in 2022.
