The BSc in Interaction Design operates within the broad context of interactive artefacts in their purely digital and physical manifestations. The design focus includes digital and physical interfaces, products, and environments that integrate electronics, harness computing power, Internet of Things systems, and those based on Big Data.

The horizon of the interaction designer involves conceptualising, prototyping, and validating interactive artefacts whose functionality is based on the interactive potential of digital and electronic technologies. The interaction designer proposes innovative solutions that meet user and community needs, consider regulatory and technological constraints, evaluate environmental and social impacts, and address ethical implications.

The degree program centres around design disciplines with a clear methodological and process-oriented framework, with other involved disciplines organised around them. The design studios are designated spaces for acquiring these skills. Technical, engineering, economic, and humanistic disciplines complement these studios, providing the tools to design and prototype interactive solutions, assess their value, and understand their impact on users.

A graduate in Interaction Design is capable of:

• conceptualize, design, and represent interactive artefacts throughout the design process
• analyze various usage contexts to understand user behaviour
• apply knowledge in terms of cognitive processes and usability/accessibility
• test artefacts at different levels of technological development, defining analysis and evaluation protocols
• introduce critical thinking into the design process, evaluating the potential environmental and social impact of designed artefacts

Professional Opportunities
A graduate in Interaction Design is a designer capable of actively participating in the conceptualisation, prototyping, and validation of digital interactive artefacts, whether they are products, services, or technologically advanced systems.

They can be involved in designing interfaces and user experiences and integrating electronic components within companies and professional studios. Additionally, they can contribute to innovation in processes and products within consulting firms and public administration. A graduate in Interaction Design may also develop entrepreneurial projects and actively participate in the activities of innovative startups in the digital field.

The program primarily prepares students for professions such as interaction designer, user experience designer, user interface designer, information architect, and designer of interactive products.
