Apply

We are in the process of starting the University of Gaming project and are aiming to start the academy's first year in 2011 or 2012, depending on the applications. While there will be an online component, the main course can not be followed online and is a full one year university-style program. Attendance of classes (four days per week, 3-4 hours per day) is required and in the first year(s) of the project, our academy in Belgium will be the only location that provides the course. (we are looking into setting up the academy in either Antwerp or Ghent)

We will have more information about relocation (living and travel arrangements) as we progress.

Price of admission will be around 1,000 euros, students' minimum age limit will be 18.
