I understand that there is one university in England that has an academic partnership with Epic Games — Saffordshire I think, but I forget the details — it may have something to do with PitBull games being in UK, who are doing some work on the engine. Well, they’re a fair drive up the A1 from Sheffield, so probably not.
My college teachers Unreal in its L6 and L7 digital diploma (www.lifeway.ac.nz) … we’re in balmy New Zealand, with two campuses (City and Beach) and it’s cosy and relatively cheap choice for international study with accomodation.
Having said that, I think for your questions on UE4 you will go far by just hammering away on the forums and this hub. Really. It’s free and all.
