Start your online study programme in Game Design now

Video games dominate the entertainment industry. Games – formerly part of a subculture – are now considered the modern “spearhead” of digitalisation: Thus, representatives of traditional industries also seek advice from experienced game developers, who inspire customers with their products and who adapt to the rapid changes that characterise the market with the help of new payment models. This high-turnover industry is experiencing major demand for innovative game ideas from game designers with high-quality training.


The online study programme in Game Design prepares you in theory and in practice for professions in the disciplines of Video Games, Serious Games and Gamification. In the process, you will acquire key expertise in the design principles of game development. This includes a foundation understanding of psychology and storytelling, as well as the methods behind ideas generation and expertise in creative processes. One special focus of this programme is the conception of game content and rule systems. In addition, you will specialise in an area that fits your professional goals and which is in great demand on the job market: the role of Concept Game Designer, Core Game Designer or Analytic Game Designer.

Fees

Study model and prices for the Bachelor's online study programme in Game Design

Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.


Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
