The Learning Sciences Research Institute (LSRI) is a

Science and IT, and Psychology.
The MSc course offers a new opportunity to extend your
knowledge and skills of developing, using or evaluating
technology to enhance work, play and learning. The
programme has been designed for graduates from a variety
of backgrounds in order to encourage interdisciplinary
approaches to interaction design, research and
development. It will be of most benefit to those wishing
to enhance their careers prospects in sectors such as new
media and technology, entertainment, training, learning
or research.
Students will engage with academics working at the
forefront of research in the UK to explore the latest
thinking and developments in technology-mediated
interaction in the digital age. Core modules include an
exploration of innovative technologies, advanced research
methods, interaction design and the psychological aspects
of learning and cognition. Topics covered include games
design, virtual, mixed and other realities, and
applications of online and mobile computing.
The course promotes both practical and theoretical
insights, and offers participants first-hand experience
of research bridging laboratory studies and real user
contexts.
The Learning Sciences Research Institute offers an ideal
environment in which to pursue professional development
as there is easy access to a range of exemplary resources
including the award-winning Mixed Reality Lab, multi-
campus hub and satellite learning spaces, and human-
computer interaction labs.

sciences community.
