As a developer for Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, a wide range of career opportunities will be open to you. Today, almost every industry is looking for specialised developers who can create interactive graphical applications or simulations — both with and without game engines.
Whether in aerospace, the games industry, the automotive sector, architecture, entertainment or medicine – all of these fields are increasingly using Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality as new visualisation and interactive media. You will qualify both for the development of immersive applications and for software-oriented roles in game studios and technology-driven industries.
If you decide not to enter the job market straight away, your state-recognised Bachelor’s degree will give you access to a wide range of Master’s programmes in Germany and abroad, for example in Creative Technologies, Interaction Design, Digital Reality, Computer Graphics, or more generally in Computer Science and Media Studies.
Since 2010, we have been offering the modern, practice-oriented bachelor's degree programme "Virtual Reality & Game Development", which focuses on the development and design of virtual worlds.
In the programme, you will explore a wide range of exciting subjects that prepare you for the development of modern technologies and game development. You begin with academic and scientific working methods and fundamentals of computer science, followed by hands-on project work.
As your studies progress, you deepen your knowledge in programming, software engineering and mixed reality applications. You will also work with virtual worlds, game design and core computer science topics, and further develop your skills in programming, computer graphics and interaction design.
Later on, you can choose between 3D modelling, mobile AR and topics such as entrepreneurship. The programme also includes an internship, as well as subjects such as artificial intelligence and edutainment, before you spend the final semesters working on your capstone project and Bachelor’s thesis.

In addition to technical and methodological skills, social and personal skills are crucial today. SRH University 's innovative, successful and award-winning CORE principle promotes independent and active learning so that you can apply your knowledge directly in practice - for a clear competitive advantage.
Our VR/AR lab offers you countless development and test systems that can be borrowed or permanently installed. A wide variety of VR goggles, graphics tablets, a holographic projection system, a fully equipped VR corner, a sound station, a large collection of magazines and much more: whether you want to chill out comfortably on the couch, play multiplayer games on the large-screen TV, immerse yourself in virtual worlds, concentrate on projects or work diligently on your own development in group work with additional monitors - our VR/AR Lab is optimally equipped for the development of video games, virtual worlds and VR simulations!
We are a partner of the VR-First initiative.
In 2007, SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg was one of the first universities in Germany to offer a "Game Development" degree programme. This was followed in 2010 by "Virtual Reality", the first degree programme in Germany to deal explicitly with virtual reality as a mass and entertainment medium. These years of experience, combined with the innovative CORE study model, form the foundation for the solid and practice-oriented education of our students.
Yves Masullo and Robin Mächtel show just how successful our graduates can be with their game "Orbital Bullet", which won the most important prize for games in Germany - the German Computer Game Award, in the "Prototype" category for young talent (endowed with € 15,000). Shortly afterwards, the game received another award at the GermanDevDays (endowed with €5,000).
The Gaming Aid supports talents in the study programmes (Bachelor/Master) Game Design, Game Graphics, Interactive Narrative Design, Sound Design and Game Engineering at selected universities. You can receive up to 800 euros per month with this scholarship. In addition, you will be supported during your studies by an experienced developer studio, which will also provide the internships required for the practical part of the programme.
