Why study User Experience Design?
The vast majority of ICT is designed to be used by people in all walks of life. From mission critical commercial software, to personal fitness apps and casual games on a smartphone, a User Experience (UX) Designer is concerned with how the technology should be designed so that it is appropriate for its intended use. This major is intended for students who want to take up careers in the multi-skilled and interdisciplinary field of human-centred design. UX designers are increasingly sought after across all sectors of ICT, where the combination of people skills along with creativity and technical ability produces graduates who are prepared for the rapidly changing future of technology design. Courses studied in this major focus on design skills and creativity, programming, and prototyping in different media. Design skills are consolidated in the BInfTech Design Computing studio courses
