About The Game Assembly

The Game Assembly (TGA) is a specialist higher education institution based in Malmö and Stockholm, focused exclusively on educating game developers for the games industry.

Founded in 2008, TGA trains junior game developers across several professional disciplines, including programming, game art, animation, technical art, and level design. Today, approximately 10% of the Swedish games industry consists of TGA graduates, making the school an important contributor to the European games ecosystem.

Since 2017, TGA has consistently ranked among the top game development schools in the world on the annual rankings from The Rookies. This reflects the quality of our graduates and the strong industry focus embedded throughout our programmes.

In 2025, The Game Assembly opened its first UK campus in Liverpool, responding to strong demand from the UK games industry for a proven and high-quality talent pipeline. With the support of multiple UK game studio partners, the Liverpool campus welcomed its first cohort in September 2025 and continues to grow as a key hub for games education in the UK.

At TGA, we pride ourselves on delivering a consistent, industry-focused education model across all our campuses, continually evolving how we develop the next generation of game developers.
 

Industry Connection

Our programmes are developed in close collaboration with the games industry, ensuring the skills we teach reflect current studio practices. Throughout their studies, students work in multidisciplinary teams that mirror real production environments, developing complete games together.

This strong industry focus means our graduates are well prepared for professional studio roles, and many go on to build careers across the European and UK games industries.
