Game Design in Genk

We stimulate and educate students to create innovative games in different formats;  from classic interactive board games up to VR games and beyond. We provide an enthusiast team of lecturers whom work in the game industry or apply their competence and insights from their research projects. Our mission is to personally guide students in one-on-one sessions and team projects. The final objective is to educate game designers that can create full functional games for Indie, entertainment, customers, education or other purposes. Within our 4-year master degree we offer exchange opportunities on the 3rd bachelor level.

• Visualization: in 2D (Drawing + Concept Art) and 3D (Blender) to animate your creations
• Technology: convert your ideas into code (C# or other) and integrate these into a (Unity) game engine
• Concept: play with the rules of game design and mechanisms to create a fun experience
