Lead a new generation of digital creativity

Immersive media, such as virtual, mixed and augmented reality (VR, MR and AR respectively), is changing the way the world delivers and consumes content—both for entertainment and learning.

With demand for highly trained professionals in the area far outstripping supply, our new Master of Immersive Media Technologies will equip you to take advantage of this global career opportunity.

A cross-disciplinary degree blending theory with advanced practical skill development and research, it’s suitable for Immersive Media bachelor graduates wishing to advance their skills, or graduates in other fields seeking to change direction.

You will also undertake a substantial research project, providing the opportunity to not only extend your knowledge even further in a field of interest, but develop highly transferable critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills.
