User experience profoundly and fundamentally impacts how we relate to technologies, interfaces and environments. Our MA in User Experience Design empowers you to create accessible and streamlined interactions with technology. This dynamic course emphasises applied industry approaches to user research and product development, enabling you to tackle complex challenges through experimental methods. With a strong foundation in design thinking, you will refine your skills in creating inclusive digital touch points for diverse platforms.
You will engage in user research, prototyping, and testing through project-based learning to develop functional and aesthetically refined outcomes. Course projects will centre around user research, challenging you to develop tangible results for various digital platforms and interfaces. By the end of the course, you will have a professional portfolio that reflects your unique interests, equipping you with the practical skills to communicate your findings effectively and prepare for a successful career in the UX industry.
