Anglia Ruskin University has secured a £2.5m capital grant to expand its computer games design facility at its Cambridge campus.
The funding, from the Office for Students, was awarded to projects intended to boost local and regional economies and support national growth.
Based in the Coslett building, the expanded facility will allow the university to double its capacity and student enrolment in computer gaming by the 2028 academic year.
The scheme includes new classrooms and a large digital media and production space, designed to resemble a professional computer games studio.
The university said the investment would help train graduates for a sector facing acute skills shortages.
