Course summary
The course explores the emergent domains of UX Design, Service Design and Design Thinking. Following trends in industry, the content is design-led, with no instruction in programming/coding. The aim is to create a challenging, supportive environment, where students are asked to work collectively to push the boundaries of their current thinking, explore new possibilities, engage in the current debates surrounding design and through this become advanced specialists in their own practice.
Group work is essential and central to the course in Semesters 1 and 2. Through such work, students will likely engage with external organisations, companies and broader stakeholders across society. In their final semester, students are encouraged to pursue multidisciplinary and cross disciplinary work – solely or in collaboration with fellow students within the wider University or by reaching out to form external partnerships. Staff are research active and experts in their fields.
