Why this continuing education master's degree?
The video game industry strengthens its position as one of the Spanish economy's engines of growth, offering a wide array of opportunities for all companies and participating in job creation. According to data published in the 2023 White Paper on Spanish Video Game Development, estimates suggest that Spanish companies working in this area had a turnover of 1,383 million euros in 2022, an increase of 8% compared to 2021. Of this turnover, 51% corresponds to Catalonia. Looking ahead, aggregate growth for the period 2022-26 is estimated at 8%, which would bring the sector's turnover in Spain to 1,880 million.

There are currently 790 active studios in Spain. Catalonia accounts for 30% of the active studios, followed by Madrid, with 21%, and Andalusia, with 14%.

This means that as a sector, it has high potential for employment. The fact that 83% of employees have completed some form of higher education must be considered. The video game development and production industry requires its professionals to be highly skilled, and as such high-quality training and constant adaptation to the industry’s needs are essential.

Therefore, the UPC School presents a solid and consolidated training offer both in video game programming and in art and animation. It consists of the Master in Advanced Programming for AAA Video Games, aimed at programmers interested in creating video games of any complexity, genre and platform, and the Master in Animation & Digital Arts for AAA Video Games, which is for designers, animators and technical artists who will acquire the ability to develop the entire artistic process of creating a video game.

The link between this training and the business world is fundamental and essential. More than 50 companies have participated in the master's degrees, offering master sessions and conferences to enrolled students, through which they transmit their knowledge and bring them closer to the reality of the sector.

Furthermore, this master's degree is held in an international environment, not just because it is taught in English, but because of the origin of its students. Programmers and artists of different nationalities coexist.

In addition, it must be emphasized the teaching staff, that is formed by professionals of the sector with an experience of more than fifteen years and the high level of employment, as well as the opportunity to carry out internships within the collaborating companies.

Project
The master's project will be carried out in groups formed by students of the Master in Advanced Programming for AAA Video Games and the Master in Animation & Digital Arts for AAA Video Games. As well as other students from music schools.

A video game project with its own technology is developed, implementing an engine from scratch with C ++ and OpenGL. Its own interface, Unity style, is implemented to facilitate communication between programmers and graphic designers.

The groups simulate the creation of a team, with the definition of all roles, scrum methodology, with its brand action, communication and social networks visibility.

At blog, you can see the projects of the master's previous editions.

Testimonials & news

Testimonials

I wanted to get some training to be able to work in the industry because doing it by yourself is very difficult. My goal was to be able to find a job at a videogame company either here in Spain or abroad. In the end, I found a job in Barcelona. This course gave me a lot of really useful theoretical knowledge that helped me start working. I especially liked the length of the course and the genuine interest that professors showed in helping us find work.

José Antonio Camacho Game Designer at Digital Chocolate

My academic training was in the area of Electronic Engineering but I was more interested in professional opportunities in the videogame area because I think it is more interesting and fun. In this Mater's course I learned fundamental concepts that have helped as a very useful starting point. I combined this course with my final project for the degree and focused my professional career towards this sector. Thanks to this master's course I got a job in Madrid working in programming and design and now I have specialised in design management.
