Course Description
The breathtaking development of games stems from the dramatic progress made in informatics and modern computer technology. Graphics and sound are becoming increasingly realistic. The complexity of simulated worlds and stories told is also increasing. New sensory technologies enable new types of interaction. Further, games are no longer only played alone at home in front of a screen. Smartphones enable us to play online games anywhere. Outstanding knowledge of informatics is therefore required to understand and use these technologies. However, game engineers do not only keep an eye on the technology, but also the people using it.

Application Documents
The following documents have to be submitted for the application (the required documents may vary depending on the applicant):
- A statement of reasons explaining why you have chosen this master’s program and TUM specifically (max. 2 pages).
- Your CV/résumé.
- A scientific essay of approx. 1,000 words on a specified topic.
- Form "Analysis of the Curriculum".
- Bachelor's degree certificate, including a list of courses and grades OR an official transcript of records. Documents not issued in German or English must be translated and notarized by a sworn translator.
- Curriculum (module descriptions, course catalog, or syllabus) of the underlying university degree; this document is very important for the checking of the academic qualification.
- Proof of your English language proficiency (see language requirements).
- GRE or Gate score for applicants with a B.Sc. degree from Bangladesh, China, India, Iran, or Pakistan (original scorecard or have the score transmitted directly via ETS).
- Preliminary documentation from uni-assist for all applicants with a Bachelor's degree from outside the EU/EEA.
- APS certificate for applicants with a bachelor's from China, Vietnam, or India.
- Certificates from professional training or additional qualifications related to the program (e.g. participation in research competitions, internships, etc.) (not mandatory).
- A passport photo.
- A copy of your passport.
International applicants: Attention: If you did not obtain your bachelor's degree in a country within the EU/EEA, you have to upload preliminary documentation from uni-assist (VPD). To get the VPD, you must send the required documents (some as notarized copies!) to uni-assist via post! Uni-assist still needs the documents on paper. As the issuance of the VPD can take up to 4 weeks, it is highly recommended to send the necessary documents to uni-assist very earlу.
