Which one of these 4 study tracks would you choose?

Programming
This track prepares you for a role as a hardware or software engineer in the creative media or games industry, including console, PC, and mobile platforms.
Visual Arts
This track prepares you for a role as a 3D modeler, animator, character artist, or environment artist in the gaming or film industry. You'll learn all about 3D modeling, texturing, rendering, drawing, and animation.
Business & Production
Are you interested in the Business and Production side of the game industry? We prepare you for a role as a producer, marketer, or business or community manager, for the game industry.
Collaborate as you would in the real gaming industry
Even though you will specialise in one of the three tracks, you will work closely with students from other disciplines throughout the programme. In a simulated game studio, you will form multidisciplinary teams – just as you would in a professional setting.
This will enable you to develop your own skills, and at the same time learn how to collaborate and communicate effectively within a team to execute results-oriented projects.
