Master's Programme in Interaction Design

About this programme

The Master’s Programme in Interaction Design explores how people’s behaviour relates to that of products and services. Designers shape this relationship by integrating cognitive, emotional and physical aspects into a cohesive whole. The programme equips designers to balance societal relevance, human understanding, and the possibilities and consequences of technology. All courses are structured into 5-, 10- or 20-week blocks. Within each block, shorter course modules offer specific skills training, theoretic studies and practical exercises. Studio courses are usually part of a 5-week block and aimed at learning specific skills and applying them in practical exercises. Applied design projects form the backbone of Master's Programme in Interaction Design. Projects usually include lectures, field trips, site visits, group method work, user studies and studio work. The projects are carried out in collaboration with external partners and tutoring is given both by our own teachers and visiting professional designers. The projects you will work on are human centred projects based on specific user groups rather than product categories. Each semester, students engage in a core design project as part of a project-based learning approach, exploring relevant design opportunities to solve real-world problems in collaboration with external partners. Project 1: Specialised Product Students explore user needs in work contexts and co-design tailored products or systems with external collaborators.
