About Mark Bennison
I’m a passionate developer who loves coding for various products and scenarios. Apps, websites, and databases all interest me but there’s nothing quite like programming a game, bringing together all your computer science knowledge with a splash of your own creative flair.
I am Programme Leader for the BSc (Hons) Computer Science and BSc (Hons) Computer Systems Engineering (Top-Up) courses, which includes oversight of their delivery with our Transnational Education (TNE) partners. My teaching focuses programming techniques, multi-tier web applications, algorithms, mechanics, design patterns and immersive application development.

Research
I am currently studying for my PhD with an interest in immersive technologies (such as virtual and augmented reality, VR/AR) and their applications to training medical professionals (such as nurses and paramedics).
I also have an interest in the use of VR and AR for wider applications in particular those related to human-machine interfaces or general teaching and learning.
