Students' Feedback
- Our students are pursuing successful careers, leading the exciting sector of VR, Computer Graphics and Simulation. Our training provides students with a truly high-quality and industry-recognized education from a professional staff who are paving the way in this technological era.
- The opportunities offered by U-tad are unbeatable: collaboration in projects using the latest technologies, internships in the best national and international companies, and professional orientation services. My time in the master’s program has been a wonderful experience. I was able to collaborate on the research project, 'CicerOn', and do an internship at Ilion Animation Studios. I am now working at Altran, in a Machine Vision aerospace project, where I am applying all the knowledge and skills I acquired during my master's degree.
- When I discovered U-tad's postgraduate programs, I dropped everything to enroll. I considered other similar options, but U-tad was the only one that truly struck me as a good fit, as it is very comprehensive and advanced. It is the quality of the teaching staff that really makes the difference. I am currently in charge of the Mixed Reality Skill Center at Acciona, where I am leading the application of virtual, augmented and mixed reality in innovative global projects. It is thanks to everything I have learned at U-tad that I have been able to land this position and fulfill my dream of working in this field.
