interaction, expanding from entertainment to other areas of life. Internet

life and distribution of media and services. Degree Programme in Internet
and Game Studies is particularly targeted at the questions of analysis,
design and application of online services and digital games from user- and
culturally focused perspectives. The programme directs students to develop
academic skills like critical thinking, scientific writing and carrying out
research projects while encouraging active and comprehensive involvement
with the practical processes and phenomena related to games and Internet.
