Bachelor's Programme in Game Design and Project Management

Education facts

Code: HSL1K

As a project manager, you will gain the skills and knowledge to plan and lead game production projects from inception to release. This includes methods to manage group dynamics, planning, and game-specific production methodology. In the programme, you will also practise practical production with students from other disciplines through several project courses. The programme mixes practical game development and theoretical courses within game design in parallel with industrial engineering and management, where project management courses are included. Throughout the programme, you will explore theories and methods in game design, game development and game analysis. Game developers need to be good communicators to work with their team and shape the game experience. To reflect this, the programme provides training in expression through text, imagery and games, as well as verbal communication. The programme usually has a wide variety of nationalities among students, and thanks to the high level of our students' productions, the education has a good reputation internationally. Invited professionals and academics come to the department to share their experiences and knowledge during recurring events. This provides opportunities for you to build a contact network for the future. Our students have a good track record when it comes to winning awards at the Swedish Game Awards, the largest Nordic competition for independent developers. The programme is located in Visby. The language of instruction is English.
