User-experience (UX) and user-interface (UI) design are challenging, multi-disciplinary activities that create the overarching experience and functionality of every aspect of a product or service.
The role of the UX / UI designer in the design of products and services has become increasingly vital within the digital realm. The creative industries employ UX designers to create conceptual and over-arching experiences both on and off screen. UI designers are employed for the visual, information and interactive design on screen across a variety of applications that include websites, apps, mobiles and augmented reality as well as product and installation design, wearable technology, and the Internet of Things.

Course programme
What your course will look like
Year 1
This design-led introduction explores core competencies in graphic and information design and in design and coding for the web. You will begin to learn the fundamental skills of the UX and UI designer in the structuring of visual information and start to develop a fundamental digital skill-set. A programme of industry practitioners and speakers supplements and enhances the core delivery.
Year 2
Explores more advanced interactivity through play and experimentation in coding. Encouraging a personal approach, the course enables and supports the application of both individual and group design propositions to real-world and imagined scenarios.
Year 3
The culmination of three years of study is channelled into practical projects, increasingly professional in scope. A range of self- directed project solutions form the basis, along with a major project, of the final body of work appropriate to applied contexts within the creative industries.
