If your dream is to study how to make videogames while living in a mild climate and sampling good wine, then information from the DigiPen Institute of Technology that it will soon be opening a campus in Spain is good news indeed.

The Redmond, Washington-based school for videogame development plans to open a campus in the coastal town of Bilbao, Spain this fall. The Spanish location will offer a Bachelor of Science in Real Time Interactive Simulation and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Production Animation.

DigiPen founder Calude Comair stated, 'The opening of our campus in Spain is yet another proof point of how fast this industry is growing and how important it is to provide a workforce that can drive forward innovation and creativity in the computer technologies field.'
