Welcome!
Founded in 2000, the GAMES ACADEMY™ was conceived to be the German-speaking countries' first college to specialise in computer and video game production.
As an accredited, private run specialist college, we see it as our mission to provide students with a modern, practice-oriented education that will enable them to effortlessly and successfully find positions in this exciting industry - according to the simple motto:
The success of our graduates means success for us as well!
The feedback proves our concept is right: some of the projects created by students during their time at the Academy have been of excellent quality, even getting the attention of development studios and publishers alike. Graduates of the Academy work for the most important studios in Europe.
We take every opportunity to introduce our students to possible future employers or business partners - visits to studios and trade fairs such as the Games Convention in Germany or GDC in San Francisco are as much a part of our agenda as in-house presentations in front of an audience and Career Days. The top names of the industry come and go at our regular events, providing Academy students with ideal opportunities to collect new know-how and up-to-date business cards for their eventual career launch.
Feedback has proved us right: Projects developed during our students’ time of study are already of outstanding quality, convincing both game developers and publishers. Our graduates work for the most influential companies in Germany like Crytek, Related Designs (Anno Series), EA Phenomic (EA Company), Blue Byte (Ubisoft Company), etc.
Visits to developers, conventions, in-house-presentations with a professional audience, as well as career days are all opportunities we arrange for our students to bring them into contact with possible business partners or future employers. Attendance of the industry’s “Who is Who” at our regular events enables GAMES ACADEMY™ students to catch up on cutting edge development techniques as well as develop the contacts that will help launch their careers.
Gaming encouraged!
It is much easier to learn in a large group of similarly minded students. A common interest in the latest in electronic gaming unites and motivates everyone at the GAMES ACADEMY™ - students, tutors and lecturers alike!
We hope you enjoy discovering our website and would be pleased to welcome you soon at the GAMES ACADEMY™ in Berlin or Frankfurt!
