From digital interfaces to immersive experiences

Interaction design shapes how people use and experience products, services and environments. It considers what people want to do, how a system responds and how each interaction feels — whether someone is navigating an app, accessing a service or exploring an immersive space.

On this Interaction Design degree, you’ll connect an understanding of people with the creative possibilities of technology. Develop foundations in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, then explore interactions across services, systems and physical and digital environments.

You’ll learn by researching, making and testing. Projects can take the form of clickable interface prototypes, websites, service proposals, spatial experiences and fictional interfaces that explore possible futures. You’ll also investigate AI-assisted workflows and consider the social, ethical and environmental consequences of your design decisions.

Studio projects, workshops, critiques and industry-informed briefs will help you develop your ideas and explain the thinking behind them. As your practice grows, you’ll build the confidence to choose appropriate tools, respond to feedback and work across changing technologies.

Graduate with a developed portfolio and professional online presence, ready to pursue opportunities in interaction design, UX/UI design, product design, service design, UX research, interface design or creative technology, or to continue into postgraduate study.
