    Program Description

    The Bachelor in Game Design and Programming (BA) at Uppsala University offers the logical and technical knowledge to work with the game medium on a professional level. Students will learn how to develop games and new experiences within the field.

    The program focuses on game development with C++ programming. It mixes practical game development and theoretical courses in game design and programming. Learners will explore theories and methods in game design, game development and game analysis. Game developers need good communicative skills both to communicate with their team and to shape the game experience. To reflect this, the program provides training in expression through text, imagery and games, as well as verbal communication.

    The Bachelor in Game Design and Programming (BA) provides skills in developing games for commercial production, as well as a deeper understanding of how games work and how they affect us and our society.

    If you are not a citizen of a European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) country, or Switzerland, you are required to pay application and tuition fees.
