B.Des. (User Experience Design)
Programme Overview
The MIT-WPU B.Des. (User Experience Design) is a unique, interdisciplinary programme that provides you with the tools to design intelligent, interactive, and rewarding user experiences across both digital and physical spaces. This programme combines creativity, technology, and human-centred design principles, preparing you for a wide range of opportunities to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the user experience (UX) domain. The curriculum covers user-centred design, data visualisation, and information architecture, equipping you with the necessary skills and research methodologies to become a successful practitioner in the competitive and constantly evolving digital design environment.
The design process bridges two seemingly disparate fields: on one hand, design fundamentals rooted in psychology and human behaviour, and on the other, cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, you will be prepared to create standard systems such as websites and apps, as well as next-generation innovations such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and web-of-things technology.
Through internships, live projects, and industry collaborations, you will apply your learning to solve real-world problems, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. A strong focus on UX design ensures that you are well-equipped for careers in digital design, product design, UI, user experience strategy, and more, across a variety of sectors, including IT, healthcare, e-commerce, banking, automotive, entertainment, and media.
