Course overview

This programme prepares you to work as an interaction designer by giving you the necessary (co)design skills to design for interactions.

The purpose of the programme is to explore new ideas concerning digital artefacts and media. It is practical and experimental. Interaction design is the process of designing with digital materials. In this process an interaction designer focuses on the user and the many aspects of specific use situations. Central aspects of this training include: Hands-on prototyping, design-oriented ethnographic fieldwork, staging cross-disciplinary collaboration and reflection of use qualities.

This programme is international and multidisciplinary with students and staff from many different countries and design-related backgrounds. During the first year, you receive studio-, team- and project-based training in designing settings, services, systems and detailed digital and interactive solutions for interactions. Examples include mobile and physical computing, place-centric computing, gamingservice design, social media and interactive, critical arts. During the second year, you specialize in, explore and reflect upon a topic of your interest and complete your work portfolio.

Career opportunities

Potential working fields include IT, design and media industries. You will also have the skills to start your own design-related company, work as a teacher in the field or pursue PhD-studies
