University of Alicante to offer video games creation course

It sounds like a joke but its official: The University of Alicante is offering a course in video games creation (!). Starting from 2011 the University of Alicante will offer the course. The objective is to train students in all aspects of professional video game development, from tools to advertising, through the creation of scripts, working with graphics engines, as well as various components of the platforms upon which the games will be built.

The courses will focus on the practical aspects combined with theory and will also entail the creation of a project throughout the course with the aim to create a complete game. Students will work with professionals like Unreal Engine 3, Autodesk 3D Studio Max, with emphasis on the design and creation of the different contents of which games are made up of: script, graphics, animations, characters, scenarios kinematics, typography, sound effects and music.

All this with great teachers of the university and other professionals who will share their experiences with students and guide them in the sector and how to find work.

Pre-registration is now open to the course, which will be a presence course. All information is available on the official website of the course.
