MS in Graphic Computing, Virtual Reality and Simulation

Learn and broaden your knowledge in modeling and simulation of physical processes.

Proyecto de Pilar Hernández, alumna de U-tad
Become an Expert in Simulation and Virtual Reality for Engineering, CFX, VFX and Video Games.

Description

Pursuing this master’s program, you will learn the most advanced techniques of Extended Reality (Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality) for the latest devices on the market.

At U-tad, you will learn the different CFX and VFX simulation methods used in film, video games and engineering simulators. You will be trained in graphic rendering and in advanced virtual reality techniques, learn simulation optimization by programming GPUs, and program advanced physical animation techniques…

You will also delve into the use of graphics engines and the application of virtual reality techniques for video games, visual effects (CFX and VFX) or non-gaming applications.

Study with research and professional faculty and enjoy world-class networking.

Our study plans are revised and updated in collaboration with industrial committees formed by top companies in the industry (Acciona, Virtual Voyagers, Hp, Virtualware, Psious, 6DLab, Neurodigital, Iralta, Hikaru, Onirica VR, EstudioFuture, inMediaStudio, Seabery, Vive, Ludus, SGO, Coachity, Dreadhalls, Innovae), etc. This allows our students to leave with the best preparation and take a leap in their professional careers.
