Overview

The User Experience and Service Design degree from Loughborough University is unique in being offered as either an MA or an MSc. The core content is very similar, but your final project will differ: choose the MA for a creative, big-thinking project, or the MSc if you want to focus on empirical investigation and data analysis. If you aren't sure which pathway suits you best, don't worry - we will help you decide after you start.

Careers

Students work in many different job roles including UX Designer, UI Designer, User Researcher, Product Manager, Experience Designer, Product Designer, UX Consultant, User Insights Specialist, Service Designer and Digital Consultant. They work in many companies outside the design field, including those in management and IT, that value the user-centred design skills we teach. Some graduates go on to careers in research, teaching or progress onto PhD study. The employment destinations of our recent graduates include IBM Design, IBM iX, Samsung, Next, Dyson, Tencent, Huawei, Baidu and Pivotal Labs.
