Bachelor of Design (Interaction Design)

Interact with industry and get ahead of the curve

Interaction Design (IxD), also known as UI/UX, is the art of creating interactive digital experiences. This is comprised of User Interface (UI) design, which involves designing the interface of software and machines such as computers, mobile devices, home appliances, and other electronic devices to maximise usability. It also includes User Experience (UX) design, which centres on understanding of the target users' behaviours, attitudes, and emotions towards a particular product or digital service in a given context.

This course explores fundamental theories, concepts, tools, and contemporary UI - UX techniques to teach you how people engage with different digital technologies and services across screens, mobile, and virtual platforms. You'll grow to understand human behaviour and emotions, and use this knowledge to design human-centric interactive experiences.

At UC, you'll undertake various projects, culminating in a portfolio of work showcasing your creativity, problem-solving skills, and technological expertise. Upon graduation, you'll be a well-rounded UI/UX designer and future leader, specialising in finding ways to make technology more accessible.
