Five faculties of the University of Zagreb have joined forces to make gaming-related courses available for final year undergraduates, the Jutarnji List daily reported on Monday.

Studying game design and development will be made available at the university’s drama school, while the other partners in this programme are the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, the Academy of Fine Arts, Faculty of Organization and Informatics in the northern Croatian town of Varazdin, and the Faculty of Architecture.

The graduate study programme will be part of the project Edu4Games, and will offer four strands: Game Design, Game Art, Game Production, and Game Programming.

These future courses are envisioned in such a way that the teaching and learning processes are focused on artistic and scientific practices and research, intensive practical work and strong international cooperation with leading higher education institutions, as well as professional organizations.

At the beginning, the programme will be available to 20-30 students.
