Game Design and Production
The application period for Master’s Degree Programmes has ended 15 Feb 2012. Next application period will start at the beginning of 2013.
Offering know-how in game design, analysis and understanding of game structure, the programme includes both theoretical and practical coursework with real-life projects and guest lecturers from world-class companies in the field. Courses are divided in two subject areas. The first is developing research readiness and the second is the methodology and practical aspects of game design. The programme starts with an introduction to game design with an emphasis on practical exercises. The first phase is followed by a longterm project, in which students design and create a computer game. While working on the project, students pursue theoretical studies in Game Analysis, Understanding Games and Playability Evaluation.
Education is given in the Media Lab, and the teaching language is English.
