You shape the way people and media technologies interact. The focus is on user experience – in the design of analogue and digital interfaces, products, services and systems.

Digital products & services. Web/app/mobile.

You will learn to design digital products and artefacts for a wide range of applications. This includes strategies and methods such as user research and gamification for the design of complex information systems and services. You will take into account not only functional and aesthetic aspects, but also ethical and social considerations.
