Designing Advanced Artifacts, Environments and Services The Master of Arts in Interaction Design combines design thinking, prototyping techniques, digital fabrication, programming, and physical computing in one study program addressing the realization of projects in which the interaction between the design culture and the technological development allows to generate design-driven innovations. The program offers students specialized knowledge and skills of interaction design. A pragmatic problem-solving approach to design is applied in a laboratory environment. Peer to peer learning, iterative processes and the rapid prototyping of various solutions qualify the students to pursue careers in industry, research centers and design practices, wherever technological innovation and design meet. The study program covers three semesters: it is structured in five modules, each of them scheduling a variety of design, methodological and technical courses. The first semester focuses on in-depth workshops and courses about the Fundamentals of Interaction Design, whereas the second is dedicated to project-based learning about Designing Advanced Artifacts, Designing Advanced Environments and Designing Advanced Services. The third semester is entirely dedicated to the thesis project: students have the opportunity to do hands-on research on their own project and develop their competences with an internship at companies and industries. The Master of Arts diploma in Interaction design awards 90 ECTS.
