MA in New Media, Games Design and Production

MA in New Media is a 2-year degree programme focusing on design for interactive digital media. From the fall2010 on we offer two specialisation areas: New Media and Game Design and Production. The education is project-oriented, combining practice with theory, hands-on with minds-on. The project modules emphasise interdisciplinary and collaborative work, while individual skills are studied in the tools & skills modules, in workshops and through tutored studio work.

This two-year programme provides unique possibility for building game design skills while building theoretical and conceptual understanding on games. The education is project-oriented, combining practice with theory Student will deepen their existing skills in the areas of game design and productions based on a personal study plan. In addition to game design and production courses, the studies can be complemented with courses from related fields such as 3d animation, interactive storytelling, and interaction design.
