The Master’s Degree in Virtual and Augmented Reality is devised as a specialisation for graduates in Animation, Modelling, Architecture, Audio Design and similar fields, where the student has acquired creative training focused on the development of 3D content. And, for graduates in Computer Engineering, Physics, Telecommunications Engineering and related degrees, where the student has greater technical knowledge.
On completion of the degree, students will have achieved the following:
On the knowledge level
On the competencies level
On the skills and abilities level
How do you learn?
The teacher will guide the student in a personalised way in their training process. Each subject has a teaching plan which specifies, depending on the training and learning outcomes associated with it, the training activities and teaching methodologies. These include the following:
At the beginning of each subject, students will find the resources for the subject on the platform (reference material and documentation), as well as resources for carrying out activities and obtaining the knowledge, expertise and skills of the disciplines, which they will complement with the face-to-face sessions planned for the weekends.
The Master’s Degree in Virtual and Augmented Reality is based on the ‘learning by doing’ model, where there is a careful balance between theoretical and practical classes, with the practical sessions taking precedence over the face-to-face sessions. The aim is for the student to acquire the knowledge and skills that will be practically applied in the conception, development and implementation of a functional project.
The curriculum will end with the presentation and defence of the Master’s Thesis, where students will demonstrate that they have acquired the competences, knowledge and skills required for an official master’s degree that gives access to the doctoral programme; developing a working virtual reality prototype. The student will put into practice the design and production methodologies of the experience, as well as the creative and technical skills developed in the previous subjects so that they can develop their knowledge in the delivery of VR, AR and MR experiences.
How is learning assessed?
Assessment in this master’s degree is a fundamental aspect that seeks to encourage reflection and the application of theoretical and practical knowledge in professional life. In each subject, depending on the training and learning outcomes associated with it, the instruments to be used for the assessment process are specified from among the following:
The assessment of the MT includes the evaluation of the work, the MT tutor’s assessment and the quality and presentation and defence before the panel made up of members of the teaching staff of Euneiz University.
