The MBA in Metaverse & Web 3.0 (Metaverse) program at UPES is a cutting-edge offering that equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the Metaverse, blockchain, and Web 3.0 technologies. The curriculum focuses on the current state and potential future developments of the Metaverse, as well as the various business models and revenue streams that can be harnessed in this emerging domain. Students also delve into the legal and ethical considerations related to the Metaverse, addressing critical issues like privacy, intellectual property, and governance.
The program goes beyond theoretical knowledge and offers practical skills in areas such as virtual and augmented reality design and development, data management and analytics, and business strategy and planning. Students have the opportunity to engage in real-world projects and case studies, allowing them to apply their learning to actual industry scenarios. The two-year program is designed with three main principles: theoretical knowledge, immersive experiences through Meta labs, and practical exposure through collaboration with companies working in the Metaverse arena.
The program offers two specializations. The first one focuses on Web 3.0, which represents the next evolution of the Internet, integrating AI technology, Machine Learning, and Blockchain to provide users with intelligent, personalized content and applications. The second specialization centers on Metaverse technology, a rapidly evolving concept that envisions a 3D virtual shared space where users interact as if in real life, utilizing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality devices. The potential applications of Metaverse span various sectors, including gaming, e-commerce, blockchain, and e-learning, making it an exciting and potentially trillion-dollar industry.
