BSc (Hons) User Experience Design (4 years)
Our BSc (Hons) in User Experience Design is rooted in NUA’s traditional strength in graphic design, design thinking, and creative problem-solving.
The User Experience Design degree gives you the essential skills to become a successful UX designer – shaping how people engage with digital products and services.
Your learning will focus on applying user experience and digital design principles that are highly prized in today’s fast-changing design industry.
You will use industry-standard technologies and prototyping techniques to develop professional solutions for a range of contexts.
In each case, you will move from research to the creation of user journeys to the design of user experiences that work across multiple digital environments: from desktop to mobile.
Responding to one of the fasting growing sectors of the visual communications industry, this course will allow you to use design, problem solving, research and psychology to test and create better digital products and services.
You are curious about how design can influence human behaviour – guiding people’s actions and decisions.
