Creative Assembly
The head quarters of the creative assembly is based in Horsham. They began in 1987 and began their incredible total war series in 1999 with the smash hit game, Shogun total war and since then the franchise has gone from strength to strength. They started off with 5 team members and now they employ over 250 all around the world.
The Creative Assembly are the creators of the famous game series, Total War. These are massive RTS (Real Time Strategy) games which allow you to control vast armies and command them to fight against others. However they have worked on a variety of different titles ranging from EA Sports Rugby to Rome II.
The Creative Assembly do not offer direct intern ships into their company. And the jobs that are available require the highest of ability in the field of work. However they for some of the jobs available they are entry level. So you don't need 5 years of experience and to have worked on a game that is a best seller. They do ask that you are keen, into games and a quick learner and keen problem solver. I think they are looking for people with a passion for designing games as well as people who have a brilliant understanding of certain programmes. Having said that, it is unlikely that you would be interviewed without a degree in game designer similar qualification.
About 2 years ago I was researching the company and looking to see if they offered internships. I emailed the head of HR Emma Smith, asking about general information and internships. I also explained that i knew i was very young and inexperienced so i did not ask for a job. I just stated that i really like the work they did, that i had been playing the total war series religiously for the past 10 years and i was just wondering about graduate opportunities. To my delight she replied to me saying that she appreciated my understanding and let me know that they do not offer graduate internships. However she said she was impressed with my initiative and said as soon as i get my degree i should send in a CV.
