Master in Digital Games (Master of Arts)

The Master of Arts in Digital Games at Technische Hochschule Köln is a three-semester postgraduate programme aimed at graduates of Bachelor's programmes in Game Arts, Game Design, or Game Programming. It offers the opportunity to continue artistic and scientific work at a postgraduate level through in-depth study of game development and the scientific analysis of digital games. Students specialise in two of the three subject areas — Game Arts, Game Design, and Game Programming — alongside modules in Media and Game Studies and Economics and Entrepreneurship in the first and second semesters. A personal or group project runs through all three semesters, accounting for 45 ECTS in total. The programme is characterised by a close interweaving of artistic and scientific teaching, with a direct connection between research and practice. Collaboration between students from different specialisations supports interdisciplinary project work. The programme is offered at Technische Hochschule Köln in Köln, Germany.
