This new programme is based at the School of Simulation and Visualisation, with a specialist pathway in Games and Virtual Reality from September 2018. The programme will provide graduates with a highly relevant skill set in practical software and immersive systems (Augmented and Virtual Reality) development, an understanding of how people and technology interact, combined with the creative insight essential to help create the future in immersive systems. This is a technology focused degree with a strong art-school foundation, combining rigorous taught components with studio based learning and critical thinking. Visualisation and Virtual Reality has been an area of excellence for the School of Simulation and Visualisation (previously Digital Design Studio) since its formation almost 20 years ago, and is an area that is now seeing a surge of rapid development and adoption worldwide. With the entertainment market driving costs down, new opportunities are emerging for VR in broadcast and entertainment, medical, engineering and other domains, with major investments from companies as varied as Sky Broadcasting, Sony, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. Students can expect to benefit from the School of Simulation and Visualisation’s continued research and commercial work (in e.g. archaeology and medical sectors) and relationships with major broadcasters, VR developers and private and public sector clients. Through the programme students will gain an understanding of major issues around core and specialist topics in Immersive Systems alongside practical skills for creating engaging and immersive interactive experiences.
