study

Hi Frankfrank,
Your questions are difficult to understand. I assume English is not your first language.
You can take a Masters degree in whatever subject you want.
A Masters degree is not essential, and it is not an impediment to getting a job in the game industry.
A Ph.D. is not necessary. I do know one Ph.D. who became a game programmer.
Just about anything is possible.
I don't understand your question "are the job possibilities good?" so you'll have to rephrase that one.
We can only address jobs in the game industry here.

I'll try to rewrite the questions,
Does having a master degree "create" more job possibilities? (do you have more possibilities in chosing from jobs if you have a master degree)
Would you a hire a person with a degree in Software Engineering, CS or Artificial Intelligence?
Is there an advantage of having a Ph.D. in a game company?

It shows that you have completed a moderately big project and picked up additional education. It is treated roughly the same as one year of non-industry experience, but it takes two years to get.

Later in life it can help you look a little more valuable than those without it.


Only pursue the education if you actually want the education for yourself.

I prefer Computer Science degrees.

The "software engineering" programs that I've seen are basically trade school programs. Other names are "Computer Programming", "Game Programming", "Software Development", and "Computer Information Systems". These are usually trade school programs where the graduates lack skill depth and theory.

Not as a general game programmer.
