Department of Digital Game Design at Istanbul Kültür University offers an innovative educational program that equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in game development and design.

In our modern Mac labs, our students gain skills in various aspects of the game design process, such as game mechanics, creative coding, level design, 2D and 3D graphics design, character design, modeling, narrative techniques, and visual aesthetics. They also have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the game and design industries through seminars and workshops led by professionals from these sectors. Moreover, our department's art-centric approach and curriculum transform our students into designers who are not only technically proficient but also possess strong artistic skills, capable of creating imaginative games, envisioning different worlds, and crafting new adventures.

Our department places great importance on internationalization. We encourage our students to participate in the Erasmus student mobility programs, which allow them to study at various universities worldwide and gain valuable cultural experiences. Additionally, we guide our students towards double major and minor programs within our university, enabling them to receive education in related fields that support the interdisciplinary nature of game design, such as software engineering, computer engineering, architecture, communication and design, and animation.

Accordingly, the mission of the Department of Digital Game Design is to equip our students with both technical and artistic skills, enabling them to create innovative and creative projects in the gaming industry. Our vision is also a commitment. We aim to be a department and game development center that can offer our students internships and job opportunities while bringing them together with industry professionals, fostering the creation of innovative and creative game projects at the intersection of technology and art.
