Start of the lifelong learning program pilot ‘Video Game Design and Development’

In order to prepare for the implementation of a new study and lifelong learning program, teachers of five components of the University of Zagreb and experts from the video game industry began piloting part of four new lifelong learning programs - Game Design, Game Programming, Game Production and Game Art. The piloting lasts until November 26, and consists of a theoretical and practical part where enrolled participants develop their own video games together in teams.

Project Edu4Games – Creation of standards of professions and qualifications as well as new study programs for the area of design and development of video games is implemented between multiple faculties within the University of Zagreb – Academy of Dramatic Art, Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design at the Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Organization and Informatics and Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. 

The graduate study program for design and development of video games will consist of four strands: Game Design, Game Art, Game Production and Game Programming. These future study programs are envisioned in such a way that the teaching and learning processes are focused on artistic and scientific practices and research, intensive practical work and strong international cooperation with leading higher education institutions, as well as professional organizations.
