Teaching Overview
In our lectures, lab courses, and theses, we offer students the opportunity to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in the design, development, and evaluation of digital games and applications. Our educational goal is to support an independent, creative and committed work and the ability to work in a team.
Especially our lectures for bachelor students "Digital Media" and "Multimedia Systems", highlight the possibilities of digital media and systems in an application-oriented manner. Our master courses "Game Development", "Game Design" and "Digital Games Research" teach theoretical knowledge and practical experience regarding the implementation of games, as well as methods and advances in digital game research.
