Video games – once part of the subculture – are now considered the modern "spearhead" of digitalisation. The gaming market is booming and you can help to shape the new gaming trends! During your studies, you will deal with exciting fields of application – from artificial intelligence to world design. In the process, you will acquire key expertise in the creative principles of game development.
