You will attend classes according to the given schedule. In addition to class exercises, there will be independently assigned homework tasks.
If you have a comparable previous academic achievement (i.e., a higher education-level course completion), have studied for a year in, for example, a folk high school, and have work samples to present, or if you have skills equivalent to or exceeding the course level, for example, through work experience and have a portfolio to show, you may seek to have the course accredited. However, you must first discuss this with the course instructor.

RD&i cooperation will be integrated if possible.
Further information
Students complete assignments independently with the help of instructions and video tutorials. In class, a student will receive feedback and deepen their expertise.

Learning route based on a working week
You will attend teaching and guidance sessions as specified in the schedule. Your study routine is determined by the scheduled group sessions and by the self-study assignments.
Learning route that accelerates the studies
If you have acquired prior learning in the subject (fully/partially), contact the teacher in charge prior to the course to discuss whether you have the competence required and what are the methods of demonstrating that competence.
If you are unable to attend all the classes due to other courses, you are required to complete the learning assignments independently.
Work-based learning route
You need to contact the course teacher prior to the course to agree on development assignments that you will perform at your workplace. You are required to prove your learning both in theory and practice by giving a presentation at Game Design show and tell day.
