This professional master’s programme has been developed in collaboration with the international game industry. You will learn to look at research and development issues in the game industry from different angles and from a theoretical base you will actively research possible solutions. To prepare for this master, you will write a project proposal in which you will summarise your ideas for a research project.
Many of the challenges in game development consist of new problems, for which ready-made solutions are unavailable. The game industry greatly benefits from knowledge in academia. The gap between scientific and applied knowledge offers great opportunities for those able to tap the source of scientific literature and to apply this in a practical product.
Focus
The Master Game Technology focuses on facilitating your growth in research and development with support from industry partners and expert lecturers from the game industry. Training in research methods allows you to develop deep insight into your chosen area of game development - either Programming or Visual Art.
Craftsmanship
Staff of our Master Game Technology consists of industry veterans, trained at master’s or PhD level. This provides a practical focus, realistic assignments, a broad industry network and knowledge that is directly applicable to modern game development.
Guest lectures
Throughout the course, you will be able to attend guest lectures from a variety of experts from industry and academia. This ensures exposure to up-to-date knowledge, and insights from a broad range of experienced practitioners.
After your master
The Master Game Technology prepares you for future positions such as a specialist in art, programming or design. These positions are no entry-level jobs. A couple of years of work experience within the game industry is essential. This master’s programme offers you the possibility to grow through this positions by providing them with academic and applied knowledge.
