This course focuses on the multidisciplinary area of creative computing, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and machine learning, serious and fun gaming, and cognitive modelling in extended reality. The research enables the use of wearable technologies in developing IoT apps in several areas, such as mobile e-health and e-fitness, digital games, 3D computer vision, and computer-generated music, achieved through the application of HCI, gamification, digital asset accessibility design and management, and other relevant techniques. You will receive tailored careers support during your PhD and for up to three years after you complete your research at Brunel. We encourage you to actively engage in career planning and managing your personal development right from the start of your research, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't yet have a career path in mind. Our careers provision includes online information and advice, one-to-one consultations and a range of events and workshops. The Professional Development Centre runs a varied programme of careers events throughout the academic year. These include industry insight sessions, recruitment fairs, employer pop-ups and skills workshops.
