Augmented and Virtual Reality Design

The first point of contact for most enquiries about studying is the Student Service Centre, or SSC for short. As well as providing study guidance and information on the details of the application process, the SSC also offers advice on organisation and funding of your studies.

Student advisers provide guidance to students on their respective degree programmes, drawing on their own experience – both before and during their studies.
