Academy of Art in Szczecin
computer games and virtual reality
 
Interfaculty Department of Computer Games and Virtual Reality
 
The department runs:
  • full-time first-cycle studies (BA, three-year undergraduate studies)
  • full-time second-cycle studies (MA, two-year MA studies)
 
Students on the Computer Games and Virtual Reality programme (first and second cycle) have the opportunity to explore both fields directly related to the game development process, such as:
  • 3D modelling,
  • interface design,
  • concept art and animation,
  • humanities-based subjects linked to the publishing process
  • project management methodologies, such as marketing and distribution and the protection of intellectual property.
This enables graduates of the programme to find their feet more easily and quickly in the labour market and to achieve success in their personal academic development.

The programme enables students to familiarise themselves with the process of designing games and virtual spaces, prepares them for working in teams - including interdisciplinary ones - and allows for the in-depth study of selected aspects through the individual selection of specialised workshops. Graduates of the programme have the opportunity to pursue a commercial career path in the game design and VR industries, as well as to engage in independent artistic and design work. Thanks to the broad range of skills they acquire, they possess qualifications that are highly valued in the creative industries.
 
Students undertake their degree programme using specialist equipment such as:
  • computers,
  • VR interfaces,
  • motion capture systems and specialist software, such as Unreal Engine and Unity,
whilst having access to laboratories and workshops, including those for 3D printing, photography, recording studios, etc. When organising work placements, the university collaborates with companies operating in the industry, such as: Fabryka Gier, Panopticum (VRR), The Moonwalls in Szczecin, Playway S.A., Forestlight Games S.A. and Concept Lab Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. The programme also includes field trips in the form of participation in game jams.
