The Immersive Factual Storytelling MA will develop your skills as a factual immersive designer and storyteller, including training in the use of 360-degree cameras, immersive sound equipment and the creation of computer-graphics-based virtual-reality experiences. Unlike other virtual-reality and immersive-technology courses, this course focuses on factual storytelling, including creating stories for enterprise use. 


Learn to plan, produce and pitch exhibition-quality narrative-based immersive experiences and graduate with the skills to practice as a non-fiction 360-degree virtual-reality storyteller. 


Explore the boundaries of immersive storytelling, taking inspiration from games, films, immersive audio experiences and more.


This course facilitates regular contact with industry-leading practitioners to help you expand your ideas, ambitions and professional networks, equipping you for professional life beyond UCL.  


From audio production to experimental cinema, you can specialise in the elements of public anthropology that interest you most, choosing from a range of option modules to enrich your appreciation and understanding of factual storytelling in different contexts.   


Study at the top university in London for Anthropology, and #4 in the world for Anthropology (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026) and become a part of a warm and welcoming Anthropology department, one of the largest and broadest in the UK, with research and teaching across five sub-sections which continually works to expand and reshape the discipline.
