Today, computer gaming is one of the fastest growing areas of the Information Technologies industry. There is a substantial research base on the technical issues of gaming. Motivations behind game playing, game preferences of players, interaction patterns of game players in the gaming environment, cognitive processes involved in game playing, application of the gaming approach in formal learning environments, societal impacts of games and gender issues are only some of the issues that are widely explored by researchers.

M.Sc. in Game Technologies is the first graduate program in Turkey to allow students to study these topics and to conduct research in the area. The primary aim of the program is to detect proper methods for the game development industry and to help students to become experts in game development. Students in this program will participate in realistic team projects to gain experience.

The program now accepts students for the 2009-2010 Fall semester. Program structure, degree requirements and information on must and elective courses can be found here.
