[game_edu] New Masters Degree in Game Design, Sweden

[Craig Lindley]

Dear Joahn

There are (currently) no tuition fees for international students
attending Swedish universities. There may be some student union
fees, which would be a couple of tens of UK pounds per year.

Re prerequisites, we've left this quite open, since there are disciplines
that could be a good background that are not those associated with
core game development areas. E.g. someone could have a medical
degree and be interested in games for diagnosis and therapy. Hence
any degree is the basic prerequisite. In practice I expect that most
applicants will have computing science, game programming, digital
media, animation, etc.. I have no idea how Swedish standards
relate to the UK CATS system, but I think Sweden is quite different. 
E.g. I'm aware of quite a few programs where they only grade
students according to very good, good and fail!

I hope this helps. Please email me again if
you have any more questions.

best regards,
Craig

Dear Craig

Thank you for your email. Can I get clarification surrounding 'no
fees'? We run a Top-up in Multimedia and the course may be of some
interest to our students whose work leans more towards Games Design. I
would be grateful if you could also forward details of academic
achievement prerequisites preferably linking to the UK's CATS system
where possible if not whatever system you use and we can then map it
against the aforementioned.

I look forward to your response.
