Teaching and assessment for Digital Interaction Design BSc (Hons)

When designing and developing new products and experiences, you require an understanding of the setting in which they'll exist.

The role of the designer is not only to create something beautiful and functional. It is also to understand and appreciate the relationship between this new product/experience and its intended user.

Being able to design objects that use the internet to connect people and services together is an important part of a designer's toolkit.

You will work with open-source microcontroller platforms like Arduino. These will be used on working hardware and software prototypes.

This involves coding, testing, building, and communicating concepts.

In this module, you will explore contemporary and historical printmaking techniques through printmaking within tutorials specific to your print workshop explorations.

The historical evolution of print will be studied, as well as contemporary printmaking practices through lectures and the writing of a print themed essay.

You will explore comic creation practices and theory using interdisciplinary approaches, and to learn about different options for working professionally in the comics field, while developing your own short-form comic. You will get the chance to practise the skills using both traditional and digital methods.

You will be introduced to the principles and practices of moving images, integrating story-telling, narrative development, scripting, sound design, production, and post-production.

These practice-based skills will be underpinned and enhanced by film theory and history, film language, and techniques to give students a holistic understanding of moving images.

Empower yourself as a designer through building and enhancing your academic research skills.

Hone your ability to understand and communicate key ideas and theories that are relevant to designers working today.

Find your own voice as a researcher by investigating a topic that is right for you.
