Current students
Current students interested in exploring this field and making connections can join Leeds University Union's XR Society.
The society is open to all and is a university-wide platform which enables students, academics and external organisations to collaborate on extended reality projects. It also helps students connect with employers and hosts free events.
The Centre for Immersive Technologies works closely with the XR Society to provide opportunities and training for students.
