Aims
A combination of theory, planning strategies, research and technical skills provides the foundation for studios that explore emerging aspects of user experience (UX) and interaction design (IxD), based on human needs and desires as well as technological development.
The aims of this specialism are:
- to nurture students' creativity and design abilities by enabling them to embrace intelligent (especially AI-enabled) and systemic approaches;
- to develop students’ awareness of current and emerging technologies in the innovation industry and in the advanced manufacturing (e.g., Industry 4.0) environment;
- to promote an understanding of supporting marketing and business practices; and
- to enhance awareness of the impact of designed systems and solutions on human, social, environmental and global domains through the development of responsible, transparent and ethical design processes.
