87749 User Experience Design

Description

This subject introduces students to experience design, a research-based practice focused on creating meaningful interactions between users and products, services, or environments. It considers the future contexts and interrelationships of these designed elements with humans, other objects, and networks. The aim is to enhance the user experience and add value to the artefact for specific user groups. This methodology is used throughout the design process to ensure that the end result meets the needs and expectations of its intended users.

Students learn research methods to understand current users, their experiences, and the contexts they design for; how to deeply understand their target audience and their needs; how to apply research insights to generate design concepts; the iterative process of prototyping and evaluating proposed solutions in potential scenarios; and communication skills for effectively presenting their ideas.
