Masters Degree Description

Are you seeking to leverage and cultivate your expertise in creative digital technology for a career in the creative industry? Our MSc User Experience Design degree program equips you with the necessary skills to stand out in competitive fields such as web application development, mobile application development, screen based and screenless application design, interactive design, animation, and video/audio production. The MSc UxD course offers intake opportunities in January and September.

Focusing on ideation/design and prototyping/evaluation stages, the MSc User Experience Design program acknowledges that formal technical development is typically handled by separate teams in real-world scenarios, including the use of artificial intelligence in UI/UX design personalisation. As a result, students concentrate on honing their cognitive/design skills, supplemented by modules providing exposure to technologies supporting creativity and the ability to synthesize technical possibilities.

With access to cutting-edge equipment, you will design your own projects while receiving guidance from expert technical staff, facilitating your journey towards becoming a proficient UXD expert.
