The University of Bristol invites applications MSc Immersive Technologies (Virtual and Augmented Reality) through Fateh Education
New Delhi : Immersive Technologies are transforming how we consume, interact, and experience digital information and media. Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are now being used in pilot mode across numerous and diverse industries, from games to entertainment; theatre and live events; museums and heritage; marketing, advertising, tourism, architecture, product development and design; through to simulation and healthcare.
A degree in Immersive Technologies from the University of Bristol will enable the students to translate their knowledge and skills to make engaging immersive content and interactive experiences for diverse audiences. This will equip the students with the technical knowledge and skills to succeed in this exciting and rapidly growing sector. Throughout the programme, students will be learning from world-leading academics and working with industry partners.
This master’s programme equips students with technological skills and knowledge to work with virtual reality and augmented reality. This will give the students the ability and knowledge to consider the processes of content creation, delivery and consumption; holistically, as a continuum to provide engaging immersive experiences for a range of audiences while meeting technological constraints and addressing commercial needs. The students will work collaboratively with students on the MA Immersive Arts (Virtual and Augmented Reality) to bring together skills in creative arts and computer science.
The programme has been co-designed with industrial partners to meet growing skills-gap demand. The University has excellent cutting-edge research and facilities in immersive technologies. This ensures the teaching is research-led and gives students insights into how the sector will evolve in the future, along with emphasizing an applied and practice-based education.
