The Interaction Design program places you at the centre of new creative practices such as strategic design information architecture game design creative coding visual sound design and behavioural insights. Learn human-centered design methods and make sense of complex problems for more-than-human centered contexts. Choose your own path and learn to design games services medical applications and interactive spaces using hybrid technologies as basic as pen and paper or as sophisticated as virtual reality. Interactivity is everywhere from apps and websites to physical devices and product-service systems. By combining a focus on sketching prototyping and testing students gain the experience to design across media - digital and tangible. That's why the Interaction Design program at ECU is interdisciplinary and holistic allowing you to take courses from Communication Design Industrial Design Animation and New Media Sound Art to cover these overlapping disciplines.Our one-of-a-kind program led by skilled and expert practitioners focuses on critical and practical inquiry research methods technological skills and design process. You'll take a blend of practice-based and theoretical courses that will prepare you to enter the IxDUX field with substantial skills and adaptability in an evolving new discipline.Upon graduating you'll have developed your own design portfolio and be prepared to launch into graduate studies or a career in this dynamic field.
