Digital game design is one of the most creative expressions of the digital age. It is not merely a form of entertainment but a stage for new narrative forms, cultural production, and technology-driven experience design. Games act as agents of transformation—both individually and socially—by shaping ideas, emotions, and our perception of the world.
At the Beykoz University Digital Game Design Department, we train a new generation of game designers who can combine technical skills with creative ideas, think with a player-centered mindset, and grasp the aesthetic and technological demands of the era.
Our program views the world of games not only as a medium of entertainment but also as an artistic, cultural, and social means of expression. From conceptualizing a game idea to building its visual world, from designing mechanics to crafting user experiences, you will gain hands-on experience in every stage of the production process. This program offers you the opportunity to turn your imagination into reality.
If you want to design the future by playing it, this is your place. We're waiting for you!
