Hear from our global alumni network

What first attracted me to join the Master course in Interaction Design was to deepen my knowledge of human computer interaction and user research as my background was in Computer Science. An essential part of my job as a user researcher is understanding the value of different research methods and picking the right ones to answer the questions at hand. My classes and thesis helped me understand a variety of methodologies, both in theory and in practice. Currently I work at British Telecom in London as a User Researcher working across every digital customer facing site looking at how we can improve the experience for our 34 million customers working across the three brands BT,EE and PlusNet.

The Course

There is a continuous demand for passionate, creative experts, especially in the fields of Interaction Design, User Experience and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The program equips its graduates with immediate marketable skills in design, technology, and theory as related to the domain of Interaction Design, User Experience and Human-Computer Interaction.

Interaction Design shapes the experiences of people as they interact with products in order to achieve their goals and objectives. Interaction designers define product behaviour, mediating relationships between people and people, people and products, people and environments, and people and services across a variety of social, cultural and technological contexts.

Our graduates can pursue careers as Content Strategists, Creative Directors, Creative Technologists, Design Strategists, Developers (front-end or back-end), Information Architects, Interaction Designers,  Mobile Designers, Service Designers, Usability Specialists, User Interface Designers and many more.

Our graduates have excelled as entrepreneurs and have been prepared for self-employability through successful pitching and presentation of their ideas and work to professional and public bodies as well as pursued suitable funding opportunities.
