Digital Game Design Department

I'm Erdem Kılıç. I am a 1st year student at Istanbul Topkapı University, Department of Digital Game Design. Our department was established in order to meet the ever-increasing need for personnel needed by the developing digital sector and to raise unique individuals who will lead the sector. Our department is located in the Balat campus of Istanbul Topkapı University. In general, we have courses such as Basic Design, Pattern, Vector Drawing, Digital Design, Basic Programming, and Introduction to Game Engines. For the first year, we cover the introductory parts of the courses and, then, we move towards a more in-depth curriculum in the following years. We have applied courses in our Computer Laboratories and Drawing Workshops. Before graduating from the department, we have to complete an obligatory internship program that lasts for twenty working days. The fields in which we can work when we graduate from our department are versatile. Our department is an interdisciplinary and creative department. In addition, we can take courses from many different fields. We have the opportunity to work in every profession related to the game and in many similar areas such as advertising, software and animation. I've been playing games since I was a kid. I've been dealing with software programming for a while now. I thought the gaming industry would be a good fit for me. That's why I chose the Department of Digital Game Design. Istanbul Topkapı University is doing a great work with this department. That's why I chose it. I greatly benefit from the academic staff of our university. Because each of our professors are very successful and very competent in their own field. Therefore, they make a great contribution to my development and the development of this department. I have a lot of goals after graduation. The first thing that comes to my mind is to develop independent games. I want to open my own game studio with an entrepreneurial spirit. I recommend this department to prospective students because the academic staff of our university is very good. Also, it is an area where the individual can develop themselves, and the job opportunities are wide. I wish success to the candidates who will take the exam and to prospective students who will choose the Department of Digital Game Design at Istanbul Topkapı University. We will be happy to see you in our school.
