DADIU, the National Academy of Digital, Interactive Entertainment is a production focused computer games education based in Denmark involving all of the relevant competencies in computer game development.

In fall 2011 the DADIU program will be organized over one semester such that students from all over Denmark will participate in a joint curriculum, competence projects and a graduation game.

DADIU gives students a unique opportunity to test their professional competences, create networks across universities and art schools, and get a glimpse of the reality waiting for them after graduation.

The Graduation Game-production will be extended with a longer pre production period giving students more time to develop the games that have, in the past, been awarded nominations at Indiecade-, Independent Games Festival, and Penny Arcade Expo nominations.

DADIU is also working on integrating students from the Copenhagen Business School into the study to act as business consultants on the productions.

To participate in DADIU you must be a student at one of DADIU’s member institutions. See the full list and read more about the study at www.dadiu.dk/english.
