For Bachelor in Digital Game Design, tuition costs 7,100 EUR per year.

Digital Game Design covers the creative and technical process of building video games, including game mechanics, level design, narrative and character development, visual art, and the programming and software tools used to bring interactive experiences to life. Students typically study game design theory, 2D and 3D art or animation fundamentals, scripting or programming, and project-based coursework in which they build playable prototypes, often working in small teams to simulate professional game development workflows. The field draws on elements of computer science, visual arts, and storytelling, requiring students to balance technical implementation with creative and player-focused design decisions. As the interactive entertainment industry continues to grow across mobile, console, and PC platforms, demand exists for professionals skilled in designing and building games. Graduates commonly pursue roles such as game designer, level designer, technical artist, or game programmer, and some continue into further study in game design, computer science, or digital media. This bachelor's program spans 4 years and is taught in English. It is offered by Cyprus International University in Lefkoşa, Northern Cyprus, with coursework supported by studio and computing facilities used for game development projects. The curriculum generally moves from foundational design and technical courses toward more advanced, project-driven coursework culminating in complete game prototypes. Studying in an English-medium program in Lefkoşa also connects students with international perspectives on game design, a field shaped by a globally distributed development and player community.
