Experts give students insights into the gaming industry. You can still apply for the "Game Studies and Engineering" Master's degree program.

What do video games and the Alps-Adriatic University have in common? Quite a lot: seven representatives from the gaming industry gave exciting presentations on Friday to give students on the Game Studies and Engineering Master's program a better understanding of the industry.

The career event was organized by the "pioneers of game development austria", an association of game developers from all over Austria - they talked about the challenges of the working world and the establishment of artificial intelligence in the gaming industry. This went down well with the young students: they were able to supplement the theory they had learned at university, such as programming and creative and analytical work, with practical examples. Study program director Felix Schniz: "We have already built up a large and diverse community of experts in game studies."

By the way: If you are interested, you can still apply for the Master's program until 30 April!
