VIDEO GAMES · 3D ENGINES · SIMULATION · INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES
Develop the games, simulations and immersive experiences of tomorrow.
We train developers who can design and build video games, 3D engines, simulations, digital twins and interactive experiences.
From C, C++ and C# to game engines such as Unity 3D and Unreal Engine, and from databases to web development: by the end of your three years on the Bachelor Gaming Developer & Immersive Technologies, you will master the fundamentals of software development and specialise in programming video games and immersive experiences.
Your two years on the MSc will then enable you to master all the tools and methods used to produce a video game and immersive, interactive experiences, and you will become an expert developer specialised in video games. Finally, with our modules in management and technical project management, you will also be able to meet the demands of positions of responsibility.

Admission takes place in two stages, without going through Parcoursup. First, you fill in and submit your application via the school's website. Then, once we have reviewed your prerequisites, career plans and skills, our teaching or admissions team will interview you (for one hour on average). You will then be informed of the outcome: admitted, on the waiting list or not admitted. Note that with this application-based method, we give everyone the chance to join our programmes, as we attach great importance to the diversity of our cohorts.
Admission to the 1st year:
With a general baccalaureate with a science or computer science specialism, or via the STI2D technological baccalaureate (Science and Technology for Industry and Sustainable Development).
Direct entry into the 2nd year:
You must have completed a first year in computer science or a scientific field. This may be a BTS, a BUT or a Licence 1.
Direct entry into the 3rd year:
You must have completed a Bac+2 in computer science or a scientific field. In other words, you must already have a BTS, BUT or Licence 2.
The admission procedure for the MSc at G. Tech is relatively quick and simple. Open to all, with no competitive exam but based on an application, you simply complete it and submit it via the school's website. Our teaching and admissions team then reviews your application and selects candidates based on their career plans, academic background and our prerequisites. A one-hour interview is then held in person on campus or online. The admissions panel takes both the application and the interview into account.
Joining the 4th year:
You must either have completed a Bac+3 in computer science, technology or science, or hold a Bachelor, BUT or Licence.
A general or technological baccalaureate allows you to become a lead video game programmer.
The most relevant general baccalaureate specialisms are mathematics and digital and computer sciences. As for the technological baccalaureate, the STI2D is the most relevant
You can join G. Tech with a BTS in Digital Systems, Computing and Networks option (SN-IR), or after completing two years of one of these programmes: BUT (computer science, MMI), Licence in computer science.

Student reviews
I'm a first-year G. Tech student at Gaming Campus. I'm really delighted with the project-based learning, which I find incredible given the progress made in such a short time.
One thing I particularly appreciate about the programme is being trained first in programming in general and then specialising in video games.
This gives access to the whole field of programming in the professional world as well as to video games, which at other schools is either inaccessible or very difficult to reach. Project-based learning is innovative and suited to the current demands of the job market.
What's more, our lecturers are professionals who are among the best in their fields. They listen and are there to answer our slightest question.
If you want to study programming, whether for video games or another field, I recommend this school, which will meet your expectations whatever the field. As for the opening of the Paris campus, I'm thrilled that Gaming Campus is expanding to Paris, which will open even more doors for us in the professional world and give us even more connections.
See you very soon, I hope.
A G.Tech student starting Master 1 next year, I highly recommend this school if you want to build your skills in programming and using video game engines.
The school's value comes from its teaching team and its teaching staff. Lessons, delivered through projects, are taught by hand-picked professionals from the field who are approached by the school's teaching team.
What's more, something that matters a lot to me is how attentive the school and G.Tech staff are to any problems you may encounter. There is always someone ready to listen, with the aim of pushing you forward and helping you become a professional in good conditions.
At the end of the Bachelor, with the school's support, we were for example able to make a mobile video game demo in one month, of high enough quality to enter production competitions, thanks to the guidance we received.
Interdisciplinary work with the other schools on campus is a real plus, letting us experience real production conditions for games and test our skills against the realities of the professional world.
Having personally been to other institutions, I find at G.Tech a rare balance that allows you to truly thrive.
I'm currently finishing my 3rd year at Gaming Campus in GTech and I think it's a very good school, especially thanks to its project-based learning, which makes us learn by doing. There were a few issues with the courses, such as some classes not being suited to one year, but the following year the programme was changed to fix these problems. The biggest plus is the teaching team, which looks after students very well and supports them throughout the school years. A little bonus point for the teamwork between students during projects.
Currently a student at G.Tech, I highly recommend this school for its practice-focused teaching approach. Learning is mainly project-based, which helps you develop your technical skills while working in a team, surrounded by professionals who support us throughout the process.
One of G.Tech's strengths is its teaching team, always attentive to students. When feedback is given, it is taken into account and adjustments are made, whether to projects, lecturers or campus life.
I spent 3 years studying at Gaming Campus in the GTECH track and I'm very satisfied: I was able to develop my skills and discover the job I truly care about. The project-based learning offered by the school is effective and rewarding, as long as you put in the effort. The school puts us in touch with industry lecturers so we can talk with them and learn from them.
The premises are good, and GTECH's teaching team listens to its students and interacts with them. We feel listened to and helped when we need it.
In September, if all goes well, I'll gladly start my 4th year at Gaming Campus GTECH!
Currently in the first year of G.Tech, the computer science track. Here is my review of my first semester at Gaming Campus Lyon. The school is great, and project-based learning is simply brilliant, with regular hands-on practice. The teaching modules are interesting, and the lecturers are carefully chosen and teach us loads of things. The lecturers don't hesitate to help us if we have problems and care about our understanding of the concepts we need to learn. In addition to this, we also have very interesting maths classes focused on concepts specific to video games. We also have English classes with great teachers/lecturers. The lecturers are all experienced in video games (that goes without saying) and are easy to talk to.
The administration and heads of programme listen and take students' comments into account.
I'd like to add that there is real campus life, with all kinds of associations and events organised by students.
All this to say that my experience at this school is great; I'm thriving and learning lots of things every day.
To conclude, I hope you'll discover this school through the Open Days and other students' reviews.
Good teaching, quality lecturers and a real desire to bring something extra to the video game and esports sector.
I highly recommend it, for all their programmes: here you'll be dealing with professionals, unlike elsewhere.
Gaming Campus is a great school for anyone who wants to train for careers in video games. Its teaching approach, combining theory and practice, allows students to develop skills that apply directly in the video game industry.
