Program overview

What the University of Skövde says about their program:
"Sweden is a leading nation in games, and Skövde is the leading Swedish city in which to study game development. Here you will find: bachelor's programmes covering all disciplines of game development, extensive game research, a successful game incubator, and in particular a large number of game companies. All these activities are located in the middle of Skövde and united under the umbrella of Sweden Game Arena. As a master's student in game development, you will be a part of this ecosystem and benefit from a competitive advantage in a career within the international game industry.

The game development programme is aimed at applicants with a bachelor's degree in any of the many areas involved in game development. You will gain not only a broad theoretical and practical understanding of game development, but also an in-depth understanding of a specialist area. Students who graduate from the programme can move on to game companies and PhD programmes in most countries, but it is also possible to stay in Skövde and pursue a career in games."
