Preferred Degrees (including equivalent or alternative titles at the undergraduate, licentiate or technical engineering levels):
- Computer Engineering
- Telecommunication Technologies Engineering
- Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering
- Data Science and Engineering
- Digital Creation, Animation and Video Games

The programme also welcomes experienced industry professionals who wish to redirect their careers towards XR. A part-time study option is available to help balance work responsibilities with master’s-level education.
Admission Evaluation Criteria
Applications accepted by the Academic Committee will be assessed based on the following criteria:
- Academic Record: up to 70% of the total score.
For students from non-preferred degrees, their GPA will be multiplied by a weighting factor lower than 1, based on the coursework completed in programming, algorithm design, and electronics. The formula used to calculate this factor will be defined by the Academic Committee prior to the start of the application and enrolment period. - Research Experience: up to 30% of the total score.
A personal interview may be arranged to assess suitability. - Work Experience: up to 30% of the total score.
A personal interview may be arranged to assess suitability. - Other XR-Related Merits: up to 10% of the total score.
