The MA in Interaction Design supports you in understanding computer-related design rooted in the relationship between people and technology. This course supports an experimental approach to user-related interactions and experiences, drawing from a range of design thinking practices and principles.
You will develop innovative, speculative outcomes that reimagine interactive practices to support a more inclusive future, focusing on human/computer interaction components like users, tasks, tools, interfaces, and contexts. The course encourages interdisciplinary collaboration that is aligned with the broader practice of human-centred and more than human-centred design.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a professional body of work aligned with your interests and future aspirations in relation to technology. You will be adept at clearly communicating the results of your research and confidently applying current thinking and conceptual insight to drive innovation within the field.
We typically require an honours degree of 2:1 or above in a science, technology, computing, maths, physics, engineering, data sciences or data analytics degree, or a professional qualification recognised as equivalent to an honours degree in a technology-related or engineering discipline.
Those with industry experience or relevant skills from non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including individuals currently employed. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, please contact us for guidance before applying.
