Interaction Design, 120 credits

Interaction design is design with digital materials. The interaction designer shapes the use qualities of digital products, focusing on use and users.

Information- and communication technology is present everywhere in society. Digital products range from working tools over games and digital media to interactive digital art. During the programme you will learn how to design interactive digital products with a focus on creating good qualities in use. Learning is based on our current research, but put into practice through our broad cooperation in projects with external organisations. In our design process, problem understanding and solution are developed in parallel. To question and explore is more important than "solving the problem" as it was perceived from the start.

After your degree you will be able to work as an interaction designer in companies and organisations. In general, former students now work in the IT- and media industry, in Sweden or abroad, start their own companies or work as teachers or PhD-students in the field.
