Key Summary
The program consists of two closely related study tracks, Visual Computing, and Computer Game Development. Within the scope of Visual Computing, the program offers training in a wide range of visual sciences, including geometric modeling, rendering (image synthesis) as well as the basics of image analysis and computer vision. The Computer Game Development focuses - apart from computer graphics techniques - on artificial intelligence and intelligent agent systems as well as on software engineering skills necessary for the development of large-scale gaming projects. Both study tracks place emphasis on general programming skills, both at the system level closer to the hardware as well as on the higher level of modern programming languages.
Graduates have expertise in the design and development of graphical systems and computer games, but they can work in any position which requires logical thinking, analytic and algorithmic approaches, or the use of methods of computer science. Depending on the chosen focus, graduates have a deep knowledge of computer graphics and image analysis, and their expertise covers the development of large-scale gaming projects, real-time applications, programming of portable devices, as well as the foundations of artificial intelligence and computer graphics in the context of computer games. Graduates can apply this knowledge to solve specific practical tasks. They can work in research and development both in the private sector and in academia.
