Use new and experimental technology to create exciting learning environments, make accessible experiences and bring the impossible to life. You’ll learn computer science and human-computer interaction, alongside practical programming skills to develop mixed, augmented and virtual reality experiences.
While you learn, you’ll be able to put these skills to the test on live projects with industry partners, creating technology with a purpose. By the time you graduate, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to bring new and exciting technologies to a range of different industries.
You will
Develop immersive experiences that have the power to fundamentally change the way we interact with technology.
Collaborate in multi-disciplinary teams designed to simulate working in a way that connects to live research and industry partnerships.
Graduate with a varied portfolio of VR and XR experiences.
Work alongside a community of game artists, animators, designers and writers.
Have the chance to be the first to market with new, interesting and disruptive technology.
Course Details - Modules
You'll gain practical experience in software engineering, computer science, and immersive media research methods. We'll cover development pipelines like agile with scrum, and build your specialist knowledge of novel and emerging immersive technologies used across the spectrum of extended reality (XR) applications.
Year one
You'll learn the basics of computing, programming and computer technology, and the pipelines and processes used in the industry.
