MA Immersive Arts (Virtual and Augmented Reality)
Creative technologies, interactive and immersive media are transforming the ways in which we experience and engage with culture. Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) are being used across a wide range of industries, from games and entertainment; theatre and live events; museums and heritage; marketing, advertising, and tourism; architecture and design; through to simulation and healthcare. This MA will enable you to translate your learning and experience in creative arts (eg writing, theatre, film, or music production) into making engaging immersive content and designing innovative interactive experiences. We will equip you with the technical skills and knowledge to succeed in this exciting and rapidly growing sector. Throughout the course, you will learn from world-leading academics, pioneering thought-leaders, and work closely with creative industry partners. This MA equips students with the:
- creative skills and knowledge to work with virtual reality, augmented reality and interactive media
- critical, theoretical, and practical skills in creative technologies and immersive storytelling, which underpin effective extended reality experiences (XR)
- ability to consider the processes of digital content creation, delivery, and consumption holistically, as a continuum, in order to produce interactive media for a range of audiences while meeting technological constraints and addressing live industry briefs
- ability to work across disciplines to produce engaging immersive experiences for a variety of contexts, through working collaboratively with students on the MSc Immersive Technologies (Virtual and Augmented Reality) to bring together skills in creative arts and computer science/software development
- skills in responsible innovation and entrepreneurship to become the next generation of leaders in immersive industry startups.
The creative, immersive and screen media industries are thriving in Bristol and the region, which makes the city an ideal place to study Immersive Arts. The MA has been co-designed with industry partners and is closely associated with excellent cutting-edge research within the University in immersive technologies and creative practices, for instance MyWorld. The teaching will be research-led, give students insights into emerging media and how the creative industries are evolving, along with emphasizing practical approaches to learning.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
The majority of our master’s programmes require a first class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, please contact us.
We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
