About
The GRACE consortium offers an international joint Master of Science in XR and Gamification, operated by three accredited European universities: St. Pölten UAS (Austria), Saxion UAS (Netherlands), and Vidzeme UAS (Latvia). The programme brings together experts from education, design, and technology to deliver an immersive, interdisciplinary curriculum across Europe.
The GRACE joint master consortium is a collaborative academic initiative between three leading European universities:

Together, they jointly offer the Master of Science in Gamified Reality Applications for Real-world Challenges and Experiences (GRACE).
This highly integrated programme combines the strengths of all three institutions, with students rotating across campuses in Austria, the Netherlands, and Latvia. The curriculum focuses on Extended Reality (XR), gamification, and digital learning innovation, preparing graduates to address complex challenges in healthcare, industry, and education.
