Online services increasingly pervade all aspects of everyday life. User experience is recognised as a key element in the differentiation and success of these services.
The trend towards 'online everything, anytime, anywhere, anyhow' seems set to continue. New computing and communications technologies are in the pipeline, online businesses are growing, and digital content is accumulating.
The User Experience Design MSc course will equip you with the behavioural theory, design practice and technology know-how necessary for a career improving user experiences through design. The course focuses upon the analysis, design, prototyping and evaluation of multimedia, multi-modal, and multi-platform user interfaces that are easy to use and support a great user experience.
Each taught module will guide you through a UX project. For example, to optimise an interaction, innovate a digital lifestyle, apply emerging technology in a persuasive way, or to collaborate on the development of virtual reality.
In the majority of modules, you will select your own coursework topic and project strategy in consultation with staff, with reference to your existing skills, portfolio and intended destination. In the digital studio practice module, you will be assigned to a multi-disciplinary group, and asked to respond to a set creative brief.
You will then undertake a final 'capstone' project to complete your portfolio.
