COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Design and User Experience at Loughborough University London provides students with a comprehensive education in designing meaningful and impactful experiences across a range of organisational contexts. In the first semester, students engage with compulsory modules in Design Innovation, Grand Challenges, and UX and Design, which build a strong foundation in creative problem-solving, user-centered design principles, and innovative approaches to real-world challenges. Optional modules such as Design in Organisations and Creative Producing in the Digital Economy allow students to tailor their learning to specific interests and develop skills relevant to contemporary design practice. In the second semester, compulsory modules including Design Research, Design for Experiences, and the Collaborative Project enable students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical, hands-on projects, fostering collaboration, strategic thinking, and professional practice. Additional optional modules, including Service Design Strategy and Immersive Experiences and Creative Technologies, provide further opportunities to specialise and explore emerging areas within the field. Across the program, students gain the ability to plan, develop, and deliver user-focused design solutions that enhance customer journeys, interactions, and overall experiences. By the end of the course, graduates are well-prepared to enter careers in the creative industries, innovation-driven sectors, or consultancy roles, bringing expertise in user experience, design strategy, and applied research to their professional practice.
