Title: Sweden: A Study Course in Gaming
Post by: Peter Nordstrand on February 24, 2006, 02:42:50 PM
Hi,

If you want to study games full time for two years and live in Sweden, check out this link (http://www.academedia.se/m4n/?oid=1370) (in Swedish).

It is a course for people who want to use games in their professional lives. They teach how to utilize games in education, communication, and marketing. They also cover how to use games in entertainment. Students will learn how to create their own games. During the course, students will actually play games in order to familiarize themselves with many different kinds of games and gaming.

Where? Göteborg, Sweden.

More information here (http://www.academedia.se/m4n/?oid=1370) (in Swedish).

Meet the people behind the course February 28 at Bar Uppåt Framåt, Magasinsgatan 3, Göteborg between 18 & 19 o'clock.

Thank you for listening.

Peter,

Thanks for sharing this.  It's pretty cool.  With all the text in Swedish the question arises: do applicants need to have Swedish language skills?  I suspect that some people might be interested, but don't know any Swedish at all.  Is that going to bar entry?

I am pretty sure that reasonable fluency in Swedish is a requirement.
