Four games created by students on University of Staffordshire's 1UP scheme are shortlisted

I really love the breadth of the recognition in this shortlist. Our students, teaching, research and work with industry are all represented. These are very different areas of activity, but they are all connected by the same ambition. Specifically, to serve our industry, and to give our students an exceptional education and the strongest possible start to their careers.
