Become an expert at virtual reality, the development of computer games and special effects.

This is a study for those interested in graphics, computer games and simulations. You realize that our daily lives soon will become part of the virtual reality, and you want to participate in developing this future.
At Narvik University College, you have the entire prerequisite to be able to learn to develop advanced computer games, virtual reality and to create realistic simulations through our state of the art VR/visualization center. You get a thorough theoretical and practical basis for advanced software development, with special focus on game and simulation development and learning systems. In Narvik, you have as a student a great advantage because we have strong research activity both at the university, and together with researchers at other institutions that we have a close cooperation with.

Through this training you will receive a thorough foundation as a basis for:

• Game and simulator development

• Geometric modeling and special effects

• Virtual reality, computer graphics, animation etc.

• Object-oriented programming, meta and GPU programming

• The development of large software systems, and massive multipurpose systems

• Artificial intelligence and intelligent agents

Through this knowledge, you will be attractive to companies developing advanced computer games, animations / movies, learning systems, visualization, virtual reality and simulators. Former students have generally found employment in the most technologically advanced companies.

The program qualifies for doctoral program (PhD). Narvik University College offers PhD program in cooperation with universities in Norway and Sweden.
