Our User Experience and Service Design programme is offered as either an MA or an MSc – you can choose. This advanced degree will develop your knowledge, skills and practice in Experience (UX) Design, Service Design and Interaction Design. Our modules will teach you how to (1) undertake user research, (2) identify opportunities for creating great user experiences and (3) design transformative products/services. You will also work with industry clients and develop material for your portfolio.
The MA/MSc User Experience and Service Design equips students to become human-centred designers within the industry and empowers them to design socially and environmentally responsible products and services. The programme's content will enable you to develop your skills and competencies in both the creative and analytical aspects of UX whilst working on a diverse range of projects. This includes the opportunity to design experiences that embed digital in the physical world, take an empathic and systemic worldview, and use the opportunities presented by new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) to design compelling product and service experiences.
A 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent international qualification). We consider students from a range of disciplines relevant to User Experience Design (including Art and Design, Computer Science, Media, Psychology, Business).
