Master in games and virtual reality, a solution for the entertainment industry

Newsroom

The video game, animation, physical simulation and virtual reality industry market has been experiencing strong growth in recent years. Companies in these sectors in Spain are becoming stronger and are looking for specific profiles in these areas.

If the digital animation sector is revolutionizing the world of entertainment (billing 259 billion dollars in 2018 worldwide), the rest of the sectors are not far behind. For example, the video game is one of the main engines of global entertainment and represents an industry that has been capable of generating 134.900 million dollars in 2018. Without going any further, Spain, with 2.202 million dollars, represents the fourth European market and world ninth. Even so, it is expected that this year the world market will reach 174.000 million dollars, with an average annual growth of 9,3%. In this sense, the creation of new products that connect both science, animation, simulation and visualization using new paradigms and innovative methodologies is something increasingly required by more industries.

The training is aimed at Graduates, Technical Engineers and Higher Engineers from national and foreign universities, as well as professionals whose experience is developed in one of the different areas of application of the Master. In particular, it has been focused on as complementary training for graduates in Computer Science, Video Game Development, Physics, Telecommunications, Aeronautics, Industrial, Mathematics and studies related to those mentioned.

National prestige and scholarships offered

It is positioned at the highest technological level, with its professors participating in research work every year at SIGGRAPH, the top congress in Computer Graphics and Simulation.

As for the official scholarships, the Master itself has scholarships for a certain number of students, to which are added the scholarships offered by collaborating companies.
