The Game Programming degree course produces high- quality graduates with technical and scientific skills related to video games as well as strong transferable skills.
Students are trained in production pipelines, technologies and issues of the digital and video game industry, but also in virtual reality, artificial intelligence or big data.
Through modules that combine basic sciences, specialist courses, human sciences, introduction to research and professional experience, students are trained to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
The 4th year offers the opportunity to perfect their skills on specialized subjects such as physical simulation programming and to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams on a common project. The 5th year sees students specialize in specific subjects, open up to cross-disciplinary professions and carry out research, in partnership with the Tokyo University of Technology, for example.
The game programming course prepares students for various roles in different industries: Lead Developer | Project Manager | Network Engineer | Graphics Engineer | DevOps Engineer | AI Engineer | Computer Engineer | Gameplay Developer | Engine Developer | Tools Developer | Unreal Engine Developer | UI Developer | Physics Developer | DevOps | R&D Developer
