Seeking an exceptional start to your career in the gaming industry?

You’ve taken the first step towards this by being interested in placement opportunities at Lionhead Games Studio.

We are only able to accept one application per candidate and hope that the information below will help you to complete the online application. We anticipate that this should take you up to an hour to fully complete, so please ensure that you have sufficient time available prior to clicking onto the next screen.

Please be aware that we expect graduate applicants to have certain academic abilities, which will be explained in further detail on the following page.

First we will ask you some basic questions to ensure that you meet some required criteria for a placement opportunity. If you are not able to answer yes to these questions, and therefore not able to proceed, you will be notified immediately. Following this you will need to complete personal details, education details (please complete this section fully & with as much detail as possible), work experience, competency questions and a series of technical questions related to the skills needed for a placement at Lionhead. In addition you will be asked to complete a multiple choice assessment of 8 technical programming questions. Please note, that whilst the multiple choice questions are not a timed exercise, we will be observing the time taken and reserve the right to use this information within the selection process.

You will also be required to attach (in Word format) your CV and covering letter. Your covering letter should detail why you feel you are interested in an opportunity at Lionhead and why you feel you are a suitable candidate. Please therefore ensure that you have both these documents ready in a Word format prior to starting your application.

Lionhead are able to offer placements for Summer Interns for 3 months (starting in approximately May 2010) and also longer term placements of 6 months (starting in April 2010) and 11 month internships to start in summer 2010. Please specify, when prompted, in the application form which you are interested in applying for and the date from which you can start.
