Master [Design Innovation and Interaction Design] From Glasgow School of Art

The relationship between humanity and technology has shaped the world as we experience it, whether these technologies were agricultural, industrial or, as they are today, digital.Ê

The interaction between social, cultural and technological aspects of life defines the study of Interaction Design as a field of enquiry. Interaction is no longer merely a technological phenomenon, rather it is relational; it links every aspect of social life.

People experience their environment and interaction with others mediated through new technologies. Interaction Design considers not only the opportunities that designed products or system provide, but also the space and relationships with the people who are affected.

You will explore, prototype, evaluate and iterate concepts with key interactive components and in doing so, challenge the experience people have in their engagement with society and technologies itself. Students will develop an understanding of Interaction Design in complex environments and learn to analyse behavior to inform the design process. The course is ideal for students who are interested in UX design and prototyping.
