Gaming is the strongest growing branch in international entertainment. Working in the gaming industry requires co-operative skills, and most of all high motivation. Rapid growth and hectic work rates in the industry require coping with change and constant development.
Graduating 3D experts and Level Designers will be occupied mainly in the game development business. Advertisement agencies, movie production companies, and schools represent other instances that require 3D expertise. Students graduating from the Game Development Study Programme will be able to design and produce various playable game concepts according to the requirements of the gaming industry. Acquired skills are also relevant for creating movies and commercial spots.
The Game Development Study Programme integrates various real-life exercises and jobs into the academic programme. Every participating year-group has their responsibility area in the study programme's common project. Even first year students can expect hands-on experience in producing virtual environments and worlds.
Well established experts from the gaming industry have participated in creating the curriculum of the study programme. Our goal while designing the programme was, in addition to establishing a pleasant and efficient study programme, to offer our students a realistic possibility to move into the service of the gaming industry directly after graduation.
