Virtual student is a role playing video game based on life at University. The game is set in a cartoon version of the University of Dundee campus and offers information on different buildings and courses at the university. As part of the game players will go through a simulation of the matriculation process to gain their student card and then go to an IT induction the same as real students would.
The purpose of the game is to give prospective students a bit more information in a more accesible way. Many students come to one visit day but it could be a while before they begin studying at the university. This game allows them to revisit when they want.
