Calling Canadians and Americans: the world's first MSc in computer games design and technology is opening up to the Normericas.

Algoma University College in Ontario, Canada, is going to exclusively host the MSc Computer Games Technology offered by the University of Abertay Dundee, Scotland. Dundee, as you will probably know, has a high pedigree of making games: it's where the GTA franchise was born, so many moons ago.

According to the press release, this is the first Masters level degree in computer games technology to be offered in Canada and the US. It takes full advantage of technology to deliver the course, too: students on the program will be located on Algoma University's campus in Sault Ste. Marie, and receive instruction from Abertay's highly experienced academic staff in Dundee via "state-of-the-art video-conferencing technology." No EyeToy jokes please.

Better brush up on comprehending Scottish. We advise starting with Trainspotting (not Braveheart) and videoGaiden.
