The classes are taught in three languages: Catalan, Spanish and English. The teacher will decide which language the subject will be taught in. At different levels of the degree there will be some subjects taught in the English language. The importance of English in the video game sector is essential. In fact, it is the basic working language of the sector. Although it is not obligatory, we recommend that students who wish to study at ENTI-UB either have at least the B2 level or they obtain it while undertaking DEGREE or Advanced Vocational Qualification (CFGS). Teachers place a high value on projects which have been written and presented in English.

In that case, the Advanced Vocational Qualification (CFGS) in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments and the Degree in Artistic Creation for Video Games and Serious Games would be ideal for you, since both get well involved in the aspects of game design and the most artistic part of Video Games, Serious Games and themed entertainment.
