Course Structure
Our International Master’s programme mirrors the working methods of the video game industry.
The course lasts 2 years and is divided into 4 semesters.
Semester 1 Common core classes for all 6 specialisations. This allows students to gain knowledge and understanding of the constraints in the different professions involved in the development of interactive media. |
Semester 2 In-depth classes in the student’s pre-chosen specialisation. Multi-disciplinary Interactive Experience Mini-project. |
Semester 3* Continuation of in-depth classes by specialisation. Multi-disciplinary Video Game Development Project (centred around the creation of a “Vertical Slice”). |
Semester 4 Compulsory four to six-month internship in a video game studio or research laboratory in France or abroad. |
*Note: In this semester, students from the International Master’s programme will have the opportunity to collaborate with French students from the Master’s degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media. The Multi-disciplinary Video Game Development Project combines students from both degree programmes.
