Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The Academic Internship must have a scope that corresponds the ECTS load.

Objectives:             

Develop and evaluate a novel system that uses concepts and technologies in the chosen specialisation with a focus on exploring 1) its commercial aspects, and/or 2) its socio-cultural implications, and/or 3) its use in generating scientific knowledge.

The purpose of this project module is to give the student the opportunity to acquire practical, real-world experience with developing media technological products within the context of a company or an organization. The development must be subject to relevant constraints and conditions of the real-world context.

Learning objectives

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Must be able to understand game design theories, principles, and methods that have been applied in the project
• Must be able to synthesize relevant concepts in media commercialization and innovation
• Must be able to understand professional, business-related and organizational concepts that are relevant for the hosting organization and the developed project
• Account for the scientific foundation, and scientific problem areas, of the specialization
• Describe the state of the art of relevant research in the specialization

Skills

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Must be able to apply market and trend analysis methods to a media product or production with game elements
• Must be able to apply game-related tools and technologies to create products that are viable from a commercial, socio-cultural, and/or scientific perspective
• Must be able to apply host relevant constraints and affordances in the product design
