Students at Shipley College are set to have their learning boosted by new four-dimensional (4D) 'immersive classrooms.'

The college has said that the spaces, which use virtual reality (VR) technology, 'are transforming the way students and employees learn and engage.'

The immersive classrooms can replicate any environment with wall and floor projections, surround sound audio - and even smells.

Health students in nursing and midwifery, and those progressing to become oncologists, physiotherapists, and radiographers, alongside care students, will also be trained on the programmable and augmented 'reality robotics' at the college.

The robotics simulate clinical diagnostics, childbirth, emergency medicine, minor surgeries, and personal and geriatric care conditions.

College principal, Diana Bird, said: "The new immersive suites have caused a lot of excitement amongst colleagues and students."

The immersive suites could also be used as wellbeing spaces, for team building, and for bringing lessons to life in maths, English, and mandatory training sessions.
