Master of Science in Game Technology and Gamification

In recent years, many companies have applied game technology to their day-to-day operations, especially human resource training. In addition to entertainment, games are tools to support learners of various disciplines such as general education, medicine, military, and arts. Learners will have an opportunity to practice in an environment that would otherwise be too expensive or dangerous to set up such as a battlefield or surgical room. Combining games and computer technology will simulate many virtual environments that resemble real environments. Therefore, the country needs to have experts in this game technology area to improve the development of human resources.

The Master of Game Technology and Gamification is a two-year program, with flexibility for faster graduation. The program is designed to accommodate both inexperienced and exceptional students. For inexperienced students, it normally takes two years: All the coursework is done in the first year, with the second year reserved for research work. Exceptional students could begin their research early, in parallel with the course work, and potentially complete all degree requirements in one year.

If you are looking to improve your knowledge and skills in game technology and gamification, this program is right for you.
