Immersive Computing BSc(Hons)

1st Year

You'll learn the basics of computing, programming and computer technology, and the pipelines and processes used in the industry. We’ll support complete beginners as we go through the standards for collaborative software development, helping you apply what you’ve learned to a small team-based design and development project.
Modules

• Development Principles
• Creative Computing
• Principles of Computing
• Individual Creative Computing Project
• Multidisciplinary Development Practice

2nd Year

Along with a team of multi-skilled collaborators, you'll integrate AR, VR or MR into a year-long ‘world creation’ project alongside game developers. You'll also develop your core computing skills in immersive technology.
Your Specialist XR Practice module focuses on the design and implementation of immersive experiences using novel and emerging technologies. We’ll cover languages like Java and JavaScript, place more emphasis on C++, and teach you to develop for equipment like Microsoft HoloLens and HTC Vive.
Modules

• Specialisms in Creative Computing
• Mathematics for 3D Worlds & Simulations
