About HKU
HKU Games revolves around games as an art form. Games are the most complex, engaging and modern type of art of today. One that can only exist by the presence of a player. Games also hold a huge power to initiate change and a strong impact on individuals, industries and society.
HKU offers:
• Game Art
• Game Design
• Game Development
• Broad Preperatory Course
HKU Games is at the cradle of the Dutch games industry. In the early 1990s, HKU was the first institution in the world that offered a fulltime programme for Interaction Design, from which our current fulltime game programmes have developed over the decades. Since then, HKU has brought forth thousands of graduated designers of interactive experiences. Many of them found a place, or created their place, in the Dutch games industry.
Our education is innovative and inspiring. It is not limited to basic skills such as programming, visual design, game design and organisational skills; students also get internship experience and are trained in the business aspects of the work field. Naturally, technological developments are also addressed, as we train you how to quickly adopt new technologies. Finally, we also teach you how to work independently and remain in control. This ensures that you will become a flexible professional in a quickly changing field of work.
