Explore your creativity and expand your professional skills by entering the creative industries on an Integrated Foundation Year degree. Taught over four years, these courses include an introductory year to build a solid foundation before you go on to specialise in your chosen subject at degree level. If you're interested in taking on a new subject, or have been out of education for a while, then our Integrated Foundation Year courses might just be for you. These four-year courses include an introductory year to help you build the core skills needed for degree-level study. This is a chance for you to let your imagination run wild and explore your creativity, expand your professional skills and develop enhanced subject knowledge. We'll help you nurture your expertise in problem solving, risk-taking, designing and making as you develop your abilities. 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 technical, design thinking and production skills in your chosen specialism Learn teamwork, leadership and project management skills through a variety of learning environments Develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills through the development of unique and innovative projects Go on to study your chosen course specialism at degree level 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.

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. Foundation Year: You'll study five core modules. These are all designed to help you explore the foundational elements of your chosen specialism. You'll gain relevant technical skills, learn to experiment and take risks, develop an understanding of professional practice, have opportunities to work across disciplines and collaborate with other students on live project briefs. By the time you progress into year one of your chosen degree, you'll have a deeper knowledge of your subject, a clear understanding of your strengths, a developed practical and technical skillset and the confidence to excel in your chosen subject. Modules: Explore Technique Apply Industry Launch Year one You'll learn the basics of computing, programming and computer technology, and the pipelines and processes used in the industry. We'll support complete beginners as we go through the standards for collaborative software development, helping you apply what you've learned to a small team-based design and development project. Modules Development Principles Principles of Computing Creative Computing Multidisciplinary Development Practice Individual Creative Computing Project Year two Along with a team of multi-skilled collaborators, you'll integrate AR, VR or MR into a year-long 'world creation' project alongside game developers. You'll also grow your core computing skills in immersive technology. We'll cover languages like Java and JavaScript, place more emphasis on C++, and teach you to develop for equipment like Microsoft HoloLens and HTC Vive. Modules World Creation Project: Pre-Production Mathematics for Virtual Worlds & Simulations Specialisms in Creative Computing World Creation Project: Production Developing Specialist VR Practice Year three We'll further explore the industry, and help you prepare for your future as an immersive technology developer. You'll take on an individual research project in novel and emerging technology, and a year-long team project combining collective innovation and enterprise. At the end of the year, you'll pitch your project to industry professionals as part of our annual Show and Tell day. Alongside this, you'll study advanced topics in immersive experience design, and learn statistical computing for audience and experience analysis in R. You'll also set up a portfolio website using HTML and CSS. Modules Major XR/VR Development Project: Pre-Production Research & Development: Practice Major XR/VR Development Project: Production Research & Development: Dissertation The modules above are those being studied by our students, or proposed new ones. Programme structures and modules can change as part of our curriculum enhancement and review processes. If a certain module is important to you, please discuss it with the Course Leader.

Foundation Year: Assessments are 100% coursework based Assessment will take place at the end of each module, and you'll get feedback and evaluation throughout the year. You'll be assessed through visual, verbal and written assignments, including your portfolio and a reflective journal. Progressing in your specialism Students studying on courses with an Integrated Foundation Year must successfully complete all foundation modules before they can progress to the next stage of their course. Your specialism: Coursework is the only form of assessment. You'll be continually assessed on your projects, portfolios of specialist work, and insights.
