User experience (UX) relates to how people interact with digital technology and systems. UX design aims to provide positive user experiences to build customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. The success of companies which have focused on providing better user experiences, such as Apple, highlights the commercial imperative of good UX design.
This subject focuses on understanding users and the methods and tools to design better user experiences for them in a real-world context. Students will learn to conduct ethical user research (including file studies, user interviews and surveys), apply UX design principles, develop prototypes, and evaluate UX design of existing information systems. Students will learn the importance of ethics and privacy in UX design. A stronger understanding of user experience can lead students to roles as user experience designers, user experience researchers, usability engineers, front-end developers, and information architects.
