Overview

You’ll learn about the theories of immersion and neuroscience, and develop hands-on experience working directly with the latest software and hardware through a series of creative projects in our new dedicated studio XLAB. Underpinned by your learning of design thinking and human centred design, you’ll develop your ability to develop systems and solutions for, and with, your target audiences so that your designs best meet their needs.

You’ll also develop an understanding of entrepreneurial thinking that will help you to capitalise on the creative opportunities presented by big data and technologies such as VR/AR, IoT, AI, UX and projection mapping. You’ll explore how VR, AR and AI can enhance creative processes and the new opportunities they help to create.
