Summary
This is a dynamic, design research practice course that will prepare you for work in an increasingly technologically-driven and interdisciplinary world. You will develop your skills and thinking through new combinations of research and practice to develop responsive, evocative, and complex design projects. Through the course, you will develop practical skills in interaction design, design prototyping and physical computing, alongside research skills in human and post-human centred design, forecasting/futures, and critical and speculative design, combining these methodologies and ideas into new and unique forms of practice.This course is taught at London College of Communication, at Elephant and Castle, part of University of the Arts London (UAL).

| Entry requirements | MA Interaction Design Communication has a particular aim to appeal to communication designers who are interested in exploring these new and emerging areas of design practice. The course seeks students who have a critical understand of how technologies and digital culture are affecting design practices, and who are keen to work with network digital systems and in areas of design research and practice that challenge preconceptions. Although not an entry requirement, you should be comfortable with some basic coding (some i.e. HTML CSS) in order to communicate ideas with colleagues, although strong creative experience in this area is an advantage. We will introduce you to various coding languages and design prototyping platforms during the course, but expect that individuals will develop their skills base within specific project work. The course team welcomes applicants from a broad range of backgrounds, from all over the world. MA Interaction Design Communication attracts students who apply direct from an Honours degree course in a field relevant to graphic design, or those with other, equivalent qualifications. The course team also welcomes students with relevant experience or those who may have previously worked in industry. |
