Program Overview

The Honours Bachelor of Digital Experience Design four-year degree program will give you a comprehensive understanding of digital experience design, which includes related fields like service design, user experience design, and interaction design. This exciting specialty involves understanding human behaviour and human computer interaction, conducting research and usability studies, managing projects and working in teams, applying business skills, working with existing and emerging digital technologies, prototyping new ideas, and anticipating future trends.

In this program, you'll learn to analyze and adapt to the ever-changing conditions of technology and culture. Foundational courses will build your analytical, technical, and business skills. In upper-year courses and capstone projects, you'll collaborate on digital interfaces and applications, as well as interactive environments and objects.

This design degree curriculum focuses on three areas of learning based on the digital experience design process:

Think: design thinking, theory, culture, and research
Make: designing, building, and testing digital experiences
Ship: entrepreneurship and the commercialization of digital products

Interactive Digital Media is a growing industry that is quickly changing, driven by shifts in consumer behaviour and technology. As a graduate of this program, you'll be ready to contribute to and eventually lead interdisciplinary teams to solve problems across a variety of fields like security, transportation, education, and manufacturing. And if you want to continue your studies, you'll be prepared to pursue graduate programs in a wide range of academic disciplines.
