New Bachelor’s degree in immersive technologies at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts

Studentin mit VR-Brille - From fall 2024, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts will be offering Switzerland's first Bachelor's degree course in immersive technologies. Graduates will be able to use innovative approaches such as virtual reality in a variety of ways - whether to accelerate product development, visualize construction projects or support behavioural therapies. In future, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) will train young talents who can effortlessly merge virtual and real worlds: At its meeting on September 29, 2023, the HSLU Concordat Council approved the introduction of a "Bachelor of Science in Immersive Technologies". The new course will start in fall 2024 on the Zug-Rotkreuz campus. The aim of the English-language course is to train specialists in the fields of augmented and virtual reality, serious games and immersive media production. These technologies are "immersive" because they make it possible to immerse oneself in virtual or fictional worlds - merging the physical world with digitally augmented or simulated reality. After graduating, students can design and develop immersive solutions, products and services for numerous industries.
