Course content
What do you need to enter this programme? And what can you expect when you apply? In this section you'll find all you need to know!
In the Immersive Design programme, you learn to design story-driven media, in which the audience is immersed in a fictional world and experiences a story, as if they were there.
By combining immersive (storytelling) techniques with relevant technologies and media, you can increase the impact of a story and the emotional involvement with it. In this way you can convey a powerful (communication) message. This can be done with various media, including audio, interactive media, (public) environments, film, virtual reality, and augmented reality.
During the programme you will study practical examples and explore the backgrounds, theories, terms, techniques, technologies, trends, and strategies in the field of Immersive Design. You work largely self-directed. In projects you apply and expand the knowledge and skills you have acquired; you experiment with application possibilities and design, and you create meaningful immersive designs.
In short: an inspiring programme in which you can make things for your portfolio, and where you learn to recognise and argue the quality and beauty of branding and communication.
The programme gets you ready to confidently start working in a Creative Business environment.
