Through this project, students develop research-driven solutions, equipping them for careers in relevant research and development, or for further academic advancement.

The bachelor project for the Games and Entertainment Technology Bachelor's programme is designed to integrate the knowledge, skills, and experiences acquired throughout the study programme.
