Teaching methods

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 the course to discuss wether 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 the course to agree on development assignments that you will perform at your work place. You are required to prove your learning both in theory and practice by giving a presentation at Game Design show and tell day.
