Masters Programme in
Interaction Design

Developments in information technology have challenged industrial design tradition by demanding a shift of emphasis from the idea of “product-as-object” towards the notion of “product-as-event” where the dynamic and interactive qualities of products and services need to be better understood in the context of human behaviour. This shift of focus has inspired us to develop our interaction design programme and to initiate new areas of design research.

Our interaction design education and research offer exciting opportunities for designers to extend their existing skills into new territory where the focus is on human needs rather than technological capability. Our vision for interaction design is not only about the design of the object but also about the object of design.

The current students of the programme are running and updating the interactiondesign.se website with various projects and interaction design news and information.
