Game careers require you to have both a broad knowledge of data management & Artificial Intelligence and deep skills in your chosen area of expertise, Data Science, Consultancy and Programming.
Role based learning
The educational structure of this programme is Role Based Learning (RBL) and is based on Project Based Learning (PBL). This is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills in their chosen role by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, problem, or challenge. The focus is on facilitating students to become self-driven learners that can analyse a problem and use all the resources around them to find solutions.
During your four years of study you will work in a simulated DataLab on different data projects. The majority of your time will be spent working on projects either individually or in groups, and attending workshops.
