Images, geometry and visualization
Rendering, digital images, computational geometry, data visualization, pattern recognition and computer vision.
Master's specialization · Applied Informatics
Visual Computing and Game Design
Technology, images and play in a single curriculum. This new specialization connects computer graphics, image processing, visualization, game engines, VR/AR, game design and pattern recognition.
The programme is intended primarily for Czech students and is taught mainly in Czech. This English page presents the specialization to international guests, partners and future collaborators.
Three connected perspectives
From algorithm to experience
The specialization does not place graphics, games and interaction side by side. It shows how technical principles become tools, prototypes and experiences for real users.
Game systems and engines
Game architecture, game design, storytelling, prototyping and the design of digital and physical games.
VR, UX and interactive media
Immersive interfaces, VR/AR, real-time transmission, creative coding and human-centred technologies.

Master's thesis
Dedicated space for completing an original technical, research or creative project.
How to read the plan: during the first two semesters, students choose at least one course from the relevant required-elective block. At least 12 ECTS remain available for elective courses. This page is a presentation of the specialization under preparation; the approved study plan and CTU information system define the binding requirements.
Who VCGD is for
For technologists who want to create
The specialization is a good fit for students who want to understand the algorithms behind images and apply them in an interactive system, a game, a visualization or a research prototype.
- You want to go beyond the surfaceYou are interested in the mathematical, algorithmic and systems foundations of graphics, images and interaction.
- You want to build working thingsAlongside theory, you expect projects, prototypes, teamwork and the evaluation of designs in practice.
- You do not want to choose only one disciplineYou see the connections between computer vision, visualization, VR, UX and game design.
- You are considering research and creative industriesYou want to keep a path open towards research, game studios, visualization, XR or interactive media.
