The IT University provides MSc and PhD education within the domain of computer games.
Masters Education
Our Media, Technology, and Games (MTG) MSc program is a two year,
English-based education for students interested in game design,
analysis, and technology. Full details can be found at the program's website. Master's level
guest & exchange students can find information about studying with us
at the ITU's page for guest
students.
PhD Education
The ITU is also a PhD-granting institution and the Center for Computer
Games Research has a history of supporting innovative doctoral work.
For more information on the ITU's upcoming PhD calls, as well as
information on applying, please visit the university's main information site
. We also run special PhD level courses on the subject of computer
games and those are publicized via our Events page.
The Center for Computer Games Research only accepts applicants of
the highest quality whose research interests lie within those of the
Center's faculty. Prospective PhD applicants are thus advised to
become familiar with the research areas of the faculty. At least one
of the supervisors involved in the PhD project need to be at
Associate Professor level. Applicants are encouraged to contact the
faculty that could act as potential supervisors to discuss their
research focus. The statement of purpose to be included in the
application needs to clearly set out the scope of the project and
proposed method, as well as situate its relevance to the field and
originality. Project proposals should demonstrate engagement with
the field of games research. Aside from these three criteria the
project needs to be realistically realizable within the time-frame
allotted to completing the PhD. This means that applicants need to
have a solid background in the primary fields they are drawing on.
