Overview
On this industry focused and design-led User Experience Design course at University of the Arts London (UAL), you'll learn how compelling user experiences are designed, tested, and evaluated.
The course covers the advanced studio skills of user experience design, including the methods and practices of user research through the critical-theoretical background.
What can you expect?
You'll gain knowledge of the relevant tools, materials and practices that make up user experience design in the context of the community of practice represented by London College of Communication.
With a focus on design for complex systems, emerging technologies and integrated experiences, you’ll develop an informed approach which builds on a foundation of graphic, communication and interface design values through open inquiry and creative risk-taking.
Work experience and opportunities
The methods and tools of user research are emphasised throughout and you will be challenged to collaborate on live industry briefs covering varied topics such as UX for wearable technologies, smart cities, data visualisation and social transformation.
The course is intended for people who have completed an undergraduate degree in design, social sciences, digital technologies, media and communications, and associated degrees.
We also anticipate that applicants will be working designers wishing to deepen their practice and develop new opportunities.
