Levroy Mateus Trindade
Computer Games Development BSc - 2026
Beyond the core knowledge and technical skills I’ve gained, the connections I’ve made, both with classmates and industry professionals, have been invaluable. The course has opened doors to exciting projects and opportunities I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.
Agata Berent
Computer Games Development BSc - 2025
The curriculum covers various game engines and coding languages crucial for future game programmers. It also covers essential aspects like mathematics and physics, game enterprise, and 3D asset creation. What has particularly stood out for me during this course is the opportunity to collaborate with actual game programmers right from the beginning.
