Master Course Small Project Game & Media Technology

Company Small Project GMT

Format

The project takes place as an inthernship at a company or other external organization, to be found be the student. We do not find a company for you, but you can find help via Career Services. To avoid conflict of interest, the company cannot be owned or founded by the student. It is an individual project. For the learning outcomes, see the Course Description.

The project should be more then just development of some software for the company. For example, there can be an additional comparison with antoher solution, a usability test, or an experiment about the effectiveness.
