The Nanjing University in China has launched a major dedicated to the study of metaverse-related knowledge, a first of its kind in the country.
The university renamed its Information Engineering Department to Metaverse Engineering Department.
The dean of the School of Artificial Intelligence (School of Future Technology) at the Nanjing University, Pan Zhigeng said that the renamed course will be integrated with more metaverse-related courses and disciplines to train more talents in line with the needs of enterprises in metaverse-related sectors.
The department will cooperate deeply with metaverse-related enterprises to promote the integration of education and production.
Pan believes that students would be more qualified to serve in three different areas including smart healthcare, smart education, and digital tourism.
The department will further establish three working groups: the metaverse research institute, the smart meteorological research institute, and the smart medical research institute.
