MSc Games And Extended Reality

... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

This programme provides you with the skills and knowledge to break into this new and exciting field, becoming one of the key innovators that will shape its future. The focus of this course is on the creative application of immersive and extended reality technologies to a wide range of design contexts. This is a rapidly evolving field, with applications as diverse as engineering, architecture, heritage, medicine and education.

In particular, the growth of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality applications, grouped under the umbrella term of ‘Extended Reality’ (XR), is driving to radical transformations in the production and consumption of digital media products. As leading brands such as Facebook (now Meta), Microsoft, Apple and Google all align into this direction, the surge of new XR products and experiences will redefine the ways in which we interact with the people and the world around us. This explosive growth is substantially increasing in the demand for professionals with the creative and technical skills to lead the way.

You will:

  • explore and gain an in-depth knowledge and skills on the technologies that are shaping the future

  • be part of an active and vibrant learning community that will boost your creative, technical and entrepreneurial skills

  • have access to a range of cutting-edge technologies and equipment that will turn you into a confident and capable developer
