The Master's Program in User Experience Design is the first IED blended native programme. The theory part of the course is delivered on-line, but still without losing the opportunity for discussion, for sharing and networking between students and teachers.
Classroom lessons, which will be held jointly and in synergy, will include a number of activities that will enrich your learning experience as you work on project development and implementation tasks.
This is a new, proactive and inclusive training programme developed right in the midst of the pandemic, in an effort to break down geographical barriers and experiment with new approaches to work.
This is a Master's Program where you have the opportunity to work on real-life project design tasks. From day one, you will be challenged to think and create like a professional designer, learning how to apply specialist tools to the real world.
You will experience co-creative and collaborative learning methods. You will also practice teamwork and put yourself to the test working with our partner companies as they bring real-world projects into the classroom. This will be a great opportunity for you to take the challenge and work hands-on all along the practical phase of your programme.
This Master's Program provides a variety of career opportunities across creative, project-intensive, and also data-driven companies, all of them currently experiencing very strong growth rates.
