Master of Simulation and Immersive Technologies

The Master of Simulation & Immersive Technologies will equip you to become a future-ready design leader. You'll graduate capable of understanding and meeting the growing demand for immersive practices across many industries.

This program offers a unique human-centric and design-led approach to technologies and focuses on human perception and experience. You'll learn how, why, when and where to effectively utilise simulation and immersive platforms, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and extended reality (XR). Throughout the degree, you'll engage with the latest technologies first-hand as you learn through real industry case studies and insights from global leaders.

Tailored to your interests and career, you'll be encouraged to tackle specific industry-related problems in your field.

This degree is designed to accommodate the needs of busy professionals from a wide range of backgrounds. You will choose to study fully online, or in blended mode with part-time and full-time options available. In blended mode, you will study core courses online and attend two intensive face-to-face meetups per year on-campus or at our industry partner facilities. You will also have full access to all campus facilities throughout your study.

Become a future ready design leader. Equip yourself with the creative skills and latest immersive technologies to create immersive experiences and solve complex problems by connecting the physical and digital world. You'll be part of a workforce that is positioned to meet industry's rapidly transforming approaches to manufacturing, training, modelling, planning and more.

The Master of Simulation & Immersive Technologies is a 1.7 year full-time program consisting of 11 courses (72 units of credit/UOC), including: 

• 5 Core courses
• 1 Capstone course (12 UOC)
• 3 Prescribed electives
