Video Games

Students develop and realize 2 video game projects during the 3rd year of the License. The first project is part of the progression to bring students to a first level of mastery of Game Design, Level Design, Game Art and Programming.
The second project realized from A to Z by a group will be presented at the end of the course to a jury of professionals occupying different positions in the video games industry.

From the 4th year (Master 1), students perfect their technical knowledge and develop 2D-3D projects in real time. They also apprehend the use of new technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality) and development on mobile platforms (games on smartphones). In parallel, other areas of application are discussed such as gamification (use of video game mechanics in other sectors) and research.

The last year (Master 2) is entirely dedicated to the production of a group video game with a presentation at the end of the year before a jury of professionals working in the video game sector in France or internationally. In parallel with this realization, a part of the training is dedicated to the integration into the active life: development of a professional network, putting in situation of job search (construction of a career plan) and initiates around entrepreneurship.
