Overview
Immersive and Virtual Media MA aims to develop the creative, critical and technical skills required for practitioners to develop, craft, perform, co-create and share immersive arts experiences.
You will gain practical experience, creating and sharing immersive works across a broad range of mixed-reality technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The course takes a broad interdisciplinary interpretation of what we mean by immersive practices, including performance capture and networked performance, spatial and volumetric filmmaking, installation, projection and site-specific working, immersive sound design and music composition, animation, play and games design.
Course information
The MA Immersive and Virtual Media course has been designed to prepare you for working at the forefront of the rapidly evolving, emergent immersive creative industries. You will build upon your prior experience and/or learning in creative practice. Plus, you will consider how technical and non-technical means of immersive practice might enable you to create work that encourages more emotionally rich practices of participation, adopts increasingly dynamic and interactive modes of storytelling, and traverses a progressively hybrid post-digital range of creative forms.
Career prospects
Demand for graduates with skills and experience in immersive experience production is present and growing across the creative industries and students may seek employment in the screen industries and also across wider areas of the immersive economy, including but not limited to, GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums), games, architecture, manufacturing and engineering, tourism, education and training, and healthcare.
Prior learning or work experience in Media, Arts or Performance sectors is recommended.
