Game creation is an activity that requires truly interdisciplinary professionals, and that is the focus of our curriculum. Video games are ¿learned by doing¿, during the course our students develop practical skills in the areas of Game Design, Game Art and Programming, contact with experienced professionals, have access to technologies such as VR, AR and MOCAP and also the possibility to participate in events where they test their knowledge among peers, expanding their network of contacts.

    The undergraduate programme in Multimedia Applications and Videogames will work in close relation with the labour market and there is a constant concern with adapting contents taught to the industry¿s reality and needs. Thus, in the 2nd semester of the last year, students will have to rake the 10 ECTS corresponding to the subject Professional Project and Integration Seminar by taking an internship (20 contact hours) in a company in the sector close to the field of expertise of this 1st cycle degree. It must be pointed out that Universidade Lusófona has signed various protocols with relevant entities in the audiovisual and multimedia industries, both in Portugal and in the rest of Europe.
