Interaction design is an exciting blend of product design, graphic design, computing and user research, but is a rapidly growing discipline in its own right. Interaction Design could be for you if you want to combine your creative and technical sides. This opens up careers in interaction design in the creative industries, but also gives you skills that could take you in other directions as well, such as user research or the digital economy. Typically, assessment in the design modules is through designed interactions, services or products, which are presented to the class. You will generally be asked to demonstrate final outcomes alongside development work (your design process). You are trained and encouraged to present in a range of formats in such a way that you are given a good grounding in graphics, media (web pages, blogs, and short films), prototyping and verbal skills. In technology modules, assessment is through a mixture of coursework (technical reports), exams and team practical projects. Through this variety of ways of assessing we build your confidence in the life-long skill of presenting your ideas to an audience. Interaction designers design phone apps, social networks and product user interfaces and are also helping to pioneer online services, new e-businesses and even communication devices for people without speech.
