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.

- Headset Technologies: Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR) / Mixed Reality (MR) .
- Narrative Forms: Interactive Storytelling / Hypertext / Choose your own adventure
- Play: Role Playing Games / Escape Rooms / Street Games
- Performance: Immersive Theatre / Performance Capture / Digital Dance
- Leisure: Theme parks / Outdoor and “Secret” Cinema / Heritage Settings
- Sonic experiences: Multichannel Audio / ASMR / Spatial Composition
- Site-responsive Working: Projection Mapping / Real-time Mobile Technologies / 5G and IoT

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
