At the end of January, Saxion University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) and FH St. Pölten (Austria) representatives met at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences to sign a tripartite agreement on the creation of a joint master's study program.
The joint master's program GRACE (Gamified Reality Applications for Real-World Challenges and Experiences) is planned as an innovative and new initiative and will be developed to enable students to learn augmented reality (XR) and improve gamification learning experiences. This interdisciplinary program will focus on the development of advanced XR tools that will shape professional education and skills development in the healthcare, education and industrial sectors.
The GRACE (Gamified Reality Applications for Real-world Challenges and Experiences) Joint Master Programme is an innovative initiative by a consortium of leading European universities designed to master the art and science of Extended Reality (XR) and gamification for enhanced learning experiences. This interdisciplinary program focuses on developing advanced XR tools that revolutionize professional education, training, and skill development across healthcare, education and industrial sectors.
These three higher education institutions are partners in the European University Alliance E³UDRES², which is coordinated by FH St. University of Pölten. Universities have common teaching and research methods that will be used in the new study program. Participating in this joint master's program development means investing in the future of technology and education!
