SP characteristics

The program consists of two closely related study tracks, Visual Computing and Computer Game Development. Within the scope of Visual Computing, the program offers training in a wide range of visual sciences, including geometric modeling, rendering (image synthesis) as well as the basics of image analysis and computer vision. The Computer Game Development focuses - apart from computer graphics techniques - on artificial intelligence and intelligent agent systems as well as on software engineering skills necessary for the development of large-scale gaming projects. Both study tracks place emphasis on general programming skills, both at the system level closer to the hardware as well as on the higher level of modern programming languages.

Graduate profile for the public:
Depending on the chosen study track, graduates are equipped either with deep knowledge of computer graphics and image analysis, or - when specializing in Computer Games Development - their expertise covers programming of large game projects, real-time applications, programming of small devices as well as the basics of artificial intelligence and computer graphics in the context of computer games. They are able to apply this knowledge to solve specific practical problems.
The graduates are proficient programmers in languages like C++, C# or Java, capable of programming for both classic and massively parallel processors (GPUs) as well as for small devices (tablets, mobile phones). They are able to use tools for large-scale software project management, to design and implement a complex graphical system or a computer game.
The graduates can pursue a career in the design and development of graphical systems and computer games, but they can work at any position that requires logical thinking, analytical capability and algorithmic approach, or the use of modern computer science methods. This, in particular, includes all 2D and 3D computer graphics and image analysis applications such as 3D modeling, real-time imaging for games, simulators and virtual reality, development of special effects for television and film production and post-production, synthesis of realistic images for architectural and product visualizations, processing and visualization of medical data, web graphics, camera systems, microscopy, remote sensing, security systems, biometric recognition, image and video coding and distribution etc. The graduates will find use for their skills in various aspects of both 2D and 3D computer game development for PCs or consoles as well as for small devices (tablets, mobile phones). They are well prepared for a career in research and development both in the academic sphere and in practice and are ready to continue in doctoral studies.
