The interactive media industry is a very fluid sector with many overlaps with, and blurred distinctions between, other sectors.
It is worth several billion pounds annually and employs around 40,000 people, representing approximately ten percent of the total audio visual workforce. Interactive media is not so much a sector as a discipline, as its creation and use is increasingly becoming part of everyday activity across all sectors of industry in general.
The interactive media and computer games workforce is highly educated, with most practitioners holding degrees and many holding postgraduate qualifications. At present, many of these are in subjects not directly related to interactive media.
The industry generally seeks graduate-calibre recruits, with the subjects studied frequently being less important than the quality of the person.
