Interaction Design Malmö University

Overview

At Interaction Design from Malmö University we will conduct extensive research, sketch, prototype and test — not just to get the right design, but to get the design right. Designers very often take the role of advocate for the user, and are skilled in mediating complex issues and relationship with stakeholders involved in the design and production process.

Quick Facts:

• Interaction design is an exciting field at the cutting edge of technology innovation. Interaction designers aim to create experiences using products, services and environments that are not just useful and functional, but often expressive and desirable.
• Learning interaction design is a matter of building a repertoire of methods, skills and theoretical perspectives. Importantly, you will also develop a sensitivity to the critical role of stakeholders in design, the implications of design in society, and your own sense of interaction aesthetics.
• Innovative, considered and well-executed design adds value to products and services. Interaction designers seek to understand the people and situations they are designing for, and, drawing on their mastery of interactive technology and forms of interactivity, design artefacts and experiences to improve situations.
• Given the growing prominence of good design, interaction designers find themselves in demand. Governmental agencies also value interaction designers in designing and improving access to public services. With an education in interaction design you may be suited for a number of different roles beyond interaction design, including user experience design, user interface design, service design, digital design, web design and much more.
