The program of specialization, "Computer Games Graphics" functions as a course of study with a practical profile, which prepares for the profession of graphic designer in the computer games industry. The studies include competencies in the field of artistic graphics and graphic design with emphasis on knowledge of the computer graphics workshop with a particular focus on modern game design technologies (2D computer animation, 3D computer animation, game engine support, game level design, special effects, character and object mechanics, game world design). The studies emphasize the ability to work in teams with co-creators of computer games and interactive entertainment of various specialties (scriptwriters, game producers, programmers, etc.).

Internships are an integral part of the study program, carried out by students in individual fields, levels, profiles and forms of study. Internships are to help in confronting the knowledge acquired during studies with the requirements of the labour market, acquiring skills useful in the profession, learning about practical issues related to working in positions for which the student is prepared during the course of studies.
