Virtual & Augmented Reality - BSc (Hons)
Overview
The BSc (Hons) Virtual & Augmented Reality course will enable you to explore the ever-changing landscape of virtual and augmented reality, equipping you with the knowledge and strategic mindset to create new VR and AR applications and experiences.
As you progress through the course, you will learn the skills that will allow you to explore and develop your own ideas, as well as understand the business and career opportunities that exist in the VR/AR and wider IT industries. You will learn the underlying Computer Science and Software Engineering skills needed to develop real-time applications, together with essential UI / UX design principles. You will use different languages, including Python and C/C++, apply real-time graphics techniques, and program spatial audio systems to bring to life your immersive experiences. Through the exploration of human-computer interaction, you will learn how gestures can be used to create interactive experiences. You will also get practical knowledge in software project management, as well as the industry standard tools and techniques used to create your own VR and AR applications.
The programme is industry focused, offering opportunities for industrial placements, and is designed to allow accreditation by the British Computer Society.
Career
Graduates will find a wide variety of career opportunities within the computer, IT and telecoms sector, as well as the majority of the other industrial sectors (both public and private), including the digital/creative industries, financial and professional services, advanced manufacturing, engineering and management consultancy.
Real world experience is obtained as part of your study through optional sandwich year placements and industrial internships. Over the past few years, our computing/IT students have been successful in obtaining placements in nationally competitive schemes with Microsoft, HP, General Electric and the Met Office.
On successful completion of this degree programme, there are also further taught postgraduate study options across computing and information systems here at Cardiff Met, as well as research and PhD programmes.
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.
