COURSE CURRICULUM

The MA in User Interface and User Experience Design offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines creative, technical, and professional skills to prepare students for designing impactful digital experiences. Students begin with modules such as creative practice and artificial intelligence, which explore how emerging technologies influence design, alongside storytelling and worldbuilding to strengthen their ability to create meaningful user narratives. The program also includes business skills for creative practice, helping students understand how to manage projects and careers within the design industry. Core modules such as planet-centred design emphasise sustainability and responsible innovation, while emerging interfaces and UI futures introduce students to the latest trends and technologies shaping digital interaction. Human-centred UX design is a key focus, enabling students to design solutions based on user needs, behaviour, and usability principles. Optional work experience opportunities provide valuable industry exposure and allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. The program encourages both creativity and critical thinking, ensuring students can design solutions that are functional, inclusive, and forward-thinking. It culminates in a major project, where students develop a substantial piece of work that demonstrates their ability to create effective and innovative user-centred digital experiences, preparing them for careers in UI and UX design.
