Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention a new MA programme in Game Studies offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSV), Charles University in Prague.

If you have undergraduate students who would like to further develop their academic interests in the field of game studies, we would be grateful if you could make them aware of this opportunity. Students with a background in media studies, game studies, film studies, visual culture, sociology, or related disciplines are particularly encouraged to apply.

The programme provides interdisciplinary training combining perspectives from media studies, sociology, and cultural studies. Courses include Introduction to Game Studies, History of Computer and Video Games, Player Studies, and Psychology of Digital Games, alongside classes exploring representation and politics in games and game journalism and marketing. Students will also gain practical experience through a game industry internship and specialized research seminars.

The Faculty of Social Sciences is an internationally oriented institution with a strong focus on media and communication research and a large international student body. Students enrolled in the programme may also benefit from a range of mobility and funding opportunities, including Erasmus+ exchange programmes, faculty mobility schemes with partner universities, and several FSV scholarships and support funds for international students.

Studying in Prague provides access to a dynamic academic and cultural environment in a central European capital known for its strong cultural sector, growing game development scene, and high quality of life for students.

The deadline to apply is 30 April 2026.
