- To know the technologies used in digital games and multimedia.
- To understand the process of producing a digital game or a multimedia product.
- To be able to create a 2D game, through all its stages, from conception to implementation and test.
- To be able to create a 3D game, through all its stages, from conception to implementation and test.
- To work with professionals and use their digital tools.
