The M.Sc. in Digital Games is a one-and-a-half programme taught by leading researchers in fields of game studies, game design and game technology.
Students work on practical game development projects and apply techniques of game design to areas such as education and media. They also engage in critical game analysis and develop experiments with digital game technology.
Game design is the core of the programme and is taken by all students. Students can tailor their study programme to focus on two areas: Game Studies or Game AI.
