The Erasmus Mundus REPLAY Scholarship is the two-year European Master Program, where students from across the globe come together with the objective of designing, experimenting and developing meaningful game experiences.
REPLAY is split between three games universities in three different European states: Lusófona University in Lisbon (Portugal), Luca School of Arts in Genk (Belgium) and Aalto University in Helsinki (Finland).
Students are empowered to shape the future of game design, unlocking the industry’s potential for creativity, innovation, and societal relevance. Throughout their journey, the students will be immersed in three unique national game development and artistic ecosystems. Join us in redefining the future of game design.
