Course overview

Unlock the power of digital experiences with UC's Bachelor of Design (Interaction Design). Choose to study online for a self-paced learning experience, or study on campus for face-to-face study, with a mix of in-person and online classes and lectures.

So, what exactly is Interaction Design (IxD)?

Interaction Design (IxD), also known as User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX), is all about creating digital experiences that connect people to the modern world. It's about making digital products and services easy to use, whether it's a website, app, mobile device, or home appliance. UX focuses on understanding how users feel and behave when interacting with these products.

Across the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of design and Human-computer interaction design (HCI) across specialised units in design thinking, user-centred design methodologies, application emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and more. You’ll get hands-on experience with industry-standard software and build a versatile portfolio that highlights your creativity, problem-solving and technical expertise in design tools like Figma and Adobe XD.

Become a part of the next generation of digital innovators, ready to create your own interactive experiences as a Bachelor of Design (Interaction Design) graduate from UC.
