The new Master of Engineering Degree in Game Business Management is aimed at engineers working or seeking employment in growth and internationalization-oriented game development organizations. The degree’s learning objectives and contents focus on management, research and development methods, international game business and game development project management.

The degree is a Master’s level (second-cycle) qualification of 60 credits in total. It takes approximately 1,5-2 years to complete as it is a part-time programme. The degree consists of blended studies accomplished while working. All of the course assignments and the research based development assignment (Master’s thesis) are completed on behalf of the organisation that has commissioned them.

The Master´s degree  consists of online lectures, e-learning, independent learning, group work, discussions and assignments. Each semester will start with intensive days online and the studies will be completed fully via e-learning environments (online, distance learning). Please note that the studies do not require full-time attendance in Finland therefore the students are advised to apply only for a short-term visa (if applicable) for the possible intensive weeks. The degree can be completed 100% online.

The online lectures are delivered every or every second week, one evening per week. The assignments for each study module are based on a theoretical framework which is then applied to develop the practices and activities of your work place / organization. A part of the studies will be completed in collaboration with our international partner universities, either in Kajaani or abroad.
