Introduction
Our Animation MA program in the English language trains designers who will be able to create engaging video games and work in this sector by founding their own company or by joining renowned production houses. And Storytelling program’s goal is to support non-linear formats, and experimental storytelling and encourage students to work with creative technologies.
Apart from launching its program entirely in the English language in 2023 MOME Animation MA extends its portfolio by adding two new lines of specialization to the existing Animation Director program: Video Game Studies and Immersive Storytelling.
Video Game Studies
The Video Game specialization aims to respond to the increasing need for game designers in the Central and Eastern European region.

The Immersive Storytelling specialization provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge on designing immersive narrative spaces and working in virtual and extended reality environments. The program also focuses on virtual production technology, which is highly interesting in recent years’ filmmaking. The Immersive Storytelling program’s goal is to support non-linear formats, and experimental storytelling and encourage students to work with creative technologies.
