Specialized areas
During the first semesters, students acquire general academic knowledge and learn about modern technologies and IT tools.
We place special emphasis on the practical aspects, especially regarding programming (Java, C/C++, Python, Scala, PHP), databases and design. We also focus on acquiring teamwork skills in practice, including through specific projects.
In the 3rd year, students choose a specialization.

Specialized area topics
A comprehensive program covering core topics such as game design, 3D modeling, 3D animation, game AI systems, proficiency in Unreal Engine and Unity, version control systems, project management, storytelling, post-processing and performance optimization
Opportunities to use the knowledge gained in your future professional work
With this knowledge, graduates can fill a variety of roles, including game designers, 3D modelers, animators, AI programmers and project managers, at established game companies, independent game development studios and even freelance consultants. The practical knowledge gained from using standard game engines, such as Unreal Engine and Unity, not only makes them valuable resources for development teams, but also provides the flexibility needed to work on a wide range of projects, from blockbuster AAA titles to innovative indie games.
