Objectives
Objectives
The curricular unit of Project and Dissertation I consists of the initial development for the student¿s final project (a practical nature or a theoretical dissertation) within the scientific areas of this Master's degree, to be concluded and presented to the community after the Project and Dissertation II.
As a final project, it is intended that each student can focus his research on a proposed problem, which will be materialized through a digital or analogical application, capable of scientifically standing out in the field of game studies, intervene societal and culturally in the state of the art, and may involve partner organizations. As a theoretical dissertation, it is intended that the individual research work around a problem-focused on the area of Game Design, will contribute and stand out scientifically in the state of the art.
