In the Technical Art degree programme, you will learn to bridge the gap between artists and developers. You decide for yourself whether you want to focus more on graphics or more on programming. Optional compulsory elective subjects are:
As a technical artist, you combine the skills of artists and developers, are in demand and have many options for your career choice. You can work in an existing game studio, join a founding team or work independently or freelance. You can work in or for companies in various industries that combine 3D graphics and programming, e.g. in media agencies, in advertising, in the automotive industry, in web development, in virtual, augmented and mixed reality or even in the film industry.
If you don't want to go straight into a job, your state-recognised Bachelor's degree will give you access to numerous Master's degree courses in Germany and abroad, e.g. in applied computer science, computer graphics, image processing, visualisation, media informatics and many more.
Since 2010, we have been offering the modern, practice-oriented bachelor's degree programme "Virtual Reality & Game Development", which focuses on the development and design of virtual worlds.
In your "Technical Art" degree programme, you can expect a varied curriculum that will help you bridge the gap between art and technology. You will start with the development of virtual worlds and game design while carrying out practical project work. Over the course of the programme, you will deepen your knowledge of programming, interaction design and game engines. In the final semesters, you will work on your final project and write your Bachelor's thesis.
In addition to technical and methodological skills, social and personal skills are crucial today. SRH University 's innovative, successful and award-winning CORE principle promotes independent and active learning so that you can apply your knowledge directly in practice - for a clear competitive advantage.
Our VR/AR lab offers you countless development and test systems that can be borrowed or permanently installed. A wide variety of VR goggles, graphics tablets, a holographic projection system, a fully equipped VR corner, a sound station, a large collection of magazines and much more: whether you want to chill out comfortably on the couch, play multiplayer games on the large-screen TV, immerse yourself in virtual worlds, concentrate on projects or work diligently on your own development in group work with additional monitors - our VR/AR Lab is optimally equipped for the development of video games, virtual worlds and VR simulations!
We are a partner of the VR-First initiative.
In 2007, SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg was one of the first universities in Germany to offer a "Game Development" degree programme. This was followed in 2010 by "Virtual Reality", the first degree programme in Germany to deal explicitly with virtual reality as a mass and entertainment medium. These years of experience, combined with the innovative CORE study model, form the foundation for the solid and practice-oriented education of our students.
Yves Masullo and Robin Mächtel show just how successful our graduates can be with their game "Orbital Bullet", which won the most important prize for games in Germany - the German Computer Game Award, in the "Prototype" category for young talent (endowed with € 15,000). Shortly afterwards, the game received another award at the GermanDevDays (endowed with €5,000).
The Gaming Aid supports young talents in the study programmes (Bachelor/Master) Game Design, Game Graphics, Interactive Narrative Design, Sound Design and Game Engineering at selected universities. You can receive up to 800 euros per month with this scholarship. In addition, you will be supported during your studies by an experienced developer studio, which will also provide the internships required for the practical part of the programme.
