The Animation and Game Bachelor's degree programme at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany, is a multidisciplinary course with a strong practical focus. It is taught in English and qualifies students for careers in the international media and entertainment industries. The unique combination of two disciplines, animation and game design, reflects the merging platforms and distribution channels and enables the graduates to successfully evolve in a highly dynamic professional field.

The programme is mostly project-based. During seven semesters, the students will work on a wide range of subjects such as classical and CG animation, art direction, technical art, game design, game development, media theory, and production  management. The faculty's facilities include animation labs with industry standard software and hardware, a game lab, VR studios, film and sound studios, a motion capturing studio and a usability lab.

Students are encouraged to gain solid skills with regard to the entire creation and production process and, at the same time, to specialise in typical professional fields and positions in the international animation and game industry, such as digital artist, game designer, animator, technical artist, game programmer,  or creative producer. As an attractive add-on for graduates in Animation and Game, the faculty offers a follow-up Master's degree programme (MA Animation and Game Direction), which qualifies students for leadership positions in research, higher education, and the creative industries.
