Your Career
Our graduates not only work in game studios, but also in all other areas in which 2D or 3D visualisations are created or applications are developed. In addition to internationally renowned game studios such as Yager or Ubisoft Blue Byte, you will also find our alumni at SAP, Siemens, Bosch and BMW.
Some simply use their skills to set up their own business: Successful German game studios such as Chimera Entertainment (Sacred Legends, Angry Birds Evolution) or Mimimi Games (Shadow Tactics, Desperados III) were founded by alumni of the Mediadesign Hochschule directly after graduation.

Your Studies
In seven semesters, we will teach you to understand and realise computer games and everything that goes with them - from conception and game art to game engineering.
Decide for yourself whether you are more interested in the conceptual, graphical or technical aspects of game development! In your year, you will meet equally enthusiastic fellow students who complement you and your talents perfectly and with whom you will work together to realise exciting projects.
At the end of the programme, you will be able to produce games yourself and can take on tasks as an artist, programmer or designer in a production.
