Summary
The convergence of technologies, platforms and creative practices around virtual worldbuilding has gained considerable momentum in recent years. The emerging Metaverse is currently providing much focus for new approaches to XR (extended reality), virtual production and digital twinning with numerous applications across arts, social sciences, engineering, health and education.
The Games Technologies Postgraduate Diploma will prepare students for roles in industry that utilise games tech. These include, but are not limited to: games companies, VFX, advanced manufacturing and digital twins. Students will gain practical experience in Unity and Blender, along with guidance on independent research into specialisations of their choice.
This addresses specific skills gaps across industry where expertise and experience of the opportunities afforded by these new media tools will become increasingly important.
