Game Design and Programming

What do you know about the technical aspects of game development? The Bachelor’s Programme in Game Design and Programming offers the logical and technical knowledge to work with the game medium on a professional level. You will learn how to develop games and new experiences within the field. The programme focuses on game development with C++ programming.

The Bachelor’s Programme in Game Design and Programming provides skills in developing games for commercial production, as well as a deeper understanding of how games work and how they affect us and our society.

The programme mixes practical game development and theoretical courses in game design and programming. In the programme, you will explore theories and methods in game design, game development and game analysis. Game developers need good communicative skills both to communicate with their team and to shape the game experience. To reflect this, the programme provides training in expression through text, imagery and games, as well as verbal communication.

As a programmer, you acquire the logic, technical skills and knowledge that are required to develop games using current as well as tomorrow’s technology. Through several project courses, you also practice producing games together with students with other skill sets.

The programme usually attracts students from a vast variety of nationalities, and thanks to the high level of our students’ products, the education has a good reputation internationally. Invited professionals and academics come to share their experiences and knowledge during recurring events. This provides plenty of opportunities for students to build their network of contacts. Our students have a track record of winning prizes at the Swedish Game Awards, the largest Nordic competition for independent developers.
