• Answer:

  Not sure about your grading system there, but if you can find the equivalent of a British GCSE grade C in English and Maths you should qualify for most courses. Most game developers choose to do a bsc hons in computer science. But there's other routes too e.g., building yourself an online portfolio and going freelance. Good Luck Michael
