Learn to explore, build and craft people’s everyday interactions with digital technology – not just mobile apps and social networks, but also digital products, wearables, environments and services.
Digital Interaction Design is an established discipline which blends product design, graphic design, computing and user research. It is rapidly growing profession. The world's leading companies from Facebook to the BBC, Tesco Bank to IDEO, employ interaction designers to make their products, services and systems more effective and enjoyable
The course is closely allied to our Product Design and Interior & Environmental Design courses, which together we call Social Digital.
It also shares modules with Computing. This is because interaction design is not only concerned with mobile apps and social networks, but also digitally-enabled products, wearables and environments. The boundaries are blurring!
You will learn to apply your creative and technical sides to improve and enrich people's everyday lives and experiences. Not only will it prepare you for an exciting career within interaction design but also, it will give you skills to take you in other directions as well, such as user research or the digital economy.
