User experience design methodology is used around the world by companies, government agencies, municipalities, universities and NGOs to make their services easier, more accessible and more delightful for their users.
The user experience design process begins with conducting a series of qualitative and quantitative research methods in order to develop a deep understanding of the products user(s). Based on the insights gained from this research, each point of interaction between the product and the user is then designed in such a way as to maximize the products helpfulness, efficiency and ease of use. The MIX (Masters in UX) program features a strong curriculum designed to teach this methodology, empowering students to create meaningful, emotional user experiences, manage their workflows effectively and craft elegant solutions to the toughest design problems.
Professionals in this field possess knowledge and skills that are urgently needed in the service, financial, media, product design, digital design, marketing, e-commerce, and technological research and development sectors, just to name a few. MIX graduates will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and practical experience to work effectively in these fields in a wide array of environments - private or public sector, small business or multinational corporation, product-focused or research-focused companies - both in Turkey and around the world.
