Feedback from participants

I have learned more in 1 year of OGL compared to what I did in 2 years of OAMK studies.

What OGL teaches you is professional working methods in a real life situation.

Time at OGL is like a working in startup company

This has been best time of my studies. Here I really learn how game industry works.

Extra points for Oulu about business part, because that is way ahead compared to other game study places.

More motivating and interesting. Better possibility to evolve as an individual and find your own workflows in different areas of production.

I was 5 years in a "normal" university, and OGL is better in every way compared to traditional schools.

Certain freedom in choosing how we work and how we share duties has been refreshing.
Taking responsibility of your work increases the motivation on the project.
