Students who complete the Master of Interaction Design will be able to:
-
engage critically with interaction design theory, concepts and methods and the relationship to cultural, environmental, ethical, technological and professional contexts and practices
-
apply interaction design principles, and interaction design skills including an advanced understanding of coding, electronics, ergonomics and sophisticated interactive technologies, to produce innovative ideas, concepts and solutions
-
integrate specialised design approaches to research, in order to analyse, synthesise and evaluate diverse solutions within complex information environments
-
use technical and interaction design methodologies to collaboratively assess the needs, deliverables and constraints of complex projects, to communicate these specialist and non-specialist audiences
-
critically analyse and evaluate design outcomes that apply appropriate practical interaction design skills and tangible interactive technologies.
