HAN University of Applied Sciences

The Game Beyond is excited to kick-off the new Applied Gaming course that has been started at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Arnhem, Netherlands. February 3, 2 groups of students will partake in a full day of Game Beyond classes. We are extremely excited about returning to the HAN as in the past a number of great game proposals have been done in the past. If your College or University is interested in Applied Gaming or Gamification, get in touch to have The Game Beyond give the students the knowledge and insights they need to succeed.
