Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts
The Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts enables you to design for the future using the emergent technologies of today.
This program infuses technological innovation with human?centred design thinking. The result is an understanding of ways to design interactive products and systems that will have lasting cultural and commercial importance.
Learn to design across multiple platforms and scales – from wearable computing and mobile applications to interactive architecture, responsive environments and urban informatics. Your ideas may become the basis of prototype products, patents or startup services.
Through a series of collaborative design studios and technical workshops, you will acquire the essential knowledge and skills for envisioning, creating and evaluating innovative solutions to a range of design challenges.
You can adapt this program to suit your interests by taking electives from other faculties. You will also build a compelling portfolio showcasing not only your design skills, but also your understanding of how best to convey the user experience of new products and services.
The course culminates in a capstone research project, industry internship or graduation design project.
