Programming is the hidden basis of video games. Specialize in this area by enrolling in this program"

To develop a video game, you must first think of an idea: What adventures will occur, how it will be played, and what the rules, characters, scenarios and other aspects will be. Then, it is time to start the “Game Design”, one in which the game mechanics are defined and a prototype is created using a programming language. From here, the programmers are in charge of making all the design team's ideas a reality, translating them into actions that are displayed on the screen.

It is, therefore, a highly valued and well-paid job in the industry. Without them, gamers would not be able to enjoy their favorite titles. With this in mind, the Postgraduate Diploma has been devised to allow designers to specialize in fundamental aspects of programming. For this purpose, one of the most widely used development engines in the sector will be taken into account: Unity 3D Engine, on which games such as Super Mario Run, Pokemon Go and Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, have been developed, among others.

This program provides all the knowledge and skills require to master the area. In turn, it allows students to apply their knowledge immediately thanks to the online modality and the direct qualification, whereby the student can study wherever and however they want, without having to worry about a final assignment.

This is a great opportunity to venture into an area that is highly valued by the video game industry: Programming"

This postgraduate certificate postgraduate certificate has a syllabus that is adapted to current market demands. Its most notable features are:

• The teaching of all re levant elements when programming a video game
• The contribution of a context on the video game industry for the student
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Access to content from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

C++ is the most widely used programming language in the world of video games. You can also learn it through this course"

The program includes in its teaching staff professionals from the sector who bring to this training the experience of their work, as well as recognized specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated en vironment that will provide immersion training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.  

With a direct qualification, this program allows you to apply everything you learn immediately after each class”

With 100% online content, you decide where and when to study”

This postgraduate certificate focuses on providing the student with the best tools for programming video games. You will become familiar with the key concepts of the area and learn the most common tasks when coding  a game. To do so, you will have to master one of the most widely used programs in the industry, Unity 3D Engine, study the C++ language and apply different AI skills for the creation of enemies and NPCs. All this, brought together in a program that is available at all times.  

Specialize and reach new goals thanks to a program free of schedules and limitations"
