Aims

The programme aims at offering the students an education which prepares them for professional work in companies, organisations, authorities or as a private entrepreneur as well as continued academic work.

Instruction

The teaching methods applied in courses within the programme are lectures, seminars, workshops and project work. Tutoring in groups takes place to a large extent within the production-oriented courses. As to the degree project work tutoring takes place both individually and in small groups. An essential component in the programme is the individual work by students, primarily in groups and, especially during the production courses, where students adopt different roles – producer/production leader, graphic artist, programmer, etc. – in order to get as close to a sharp milieu in a game company as possible.

Examination

The examination forms are dependent on the character of the course. The examination forms that take place are participation in compulsory examining seminars, writing and defence of reports, memoranda and design documents as well as accounting for productions. The degree project is examined by group inquiry and an oral opposition procedure according to the traditional arts and social sciences model.

Degree

Bachelor of Arts with Game Design as main field of study.
