Overview

Design thinking employs a mix of critical thinking and creativity to re-evaluate problems to come up with innovative ideas towards improving services and solving complex business problems. Many global corporations and governmental agencies have used design thinking for successful product innovation and resolution of complex service issues.

In this Design Thinking from Murdoch University, you will employ human-centred design methods, which focus on user research, empathy mapping and customer insights in order to prototype possible solutions in a range of production and service situations. You will also be able to apply the practical skill sets by undertaking a real world client project as part of the course.
