BA/BS in Game Design

Game Design is a Bachelor's programme delivered as distance learning by Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule. Game designers hold a key position in game development and accompany a game from the first idea to its release. The role covers game concepts, rules and mechanics, as well as the creation of game worlds, characters and narratives. The course combines creative potential with technical know-how. Students learn to ensure that a game is easy to play and that it delivers an engaging experience to players. The programme requires no portfolio for admission. The modular format permits students to study alongside professional work. Graduates are prepared for roles in game design and related creative and technical areas, where play and storytelling meet software development. Students develop an understanding of the creative and technical aspects of game production.
