Internship & Research Pathways There are two pathways available to all students in the MA Computer Games: Internship and Research. The pathway must be chosen at the moment of your enrolment, but might be changed on a case-by-case basis.
Students on the Internship pathway are required to take part in an industry placement during the Summer Term. This is the perfect option if you want to use this opportunity to kickstart your career in the game industry. We have a strong network of games companies and studios and have a succeeded in placing a large number of students, many of which have gone on to permanent jobs in the organisation. In additional to paid commercial placement, we offer the option of projects that are sponsored and co-supervised by non-profit organisations or other academic departments or institutions.
Students on the Research pathway will work on a final project instead. This is recommended if you want to pursue an academic career, or if you want to deepen your knowledge in a specific area.
