How do we bridge the gap between human perception and the digital tools that define our modern experience? This programme investigates the intersection of design, visual arts, and technology to craft interactions that are not merely functional, but deeply memorable. Based in Edinburgh, it is designed for those who wish to navigate the space between physical environments and digital interfaces, applying human-centred design principles to create meaningful, technology-driven experiences.

Students develop a critical perspective on how interactivity shapes our interaction with brands, information, and creative outputs. You will move beyond simple interface design to explore experience design as a powerful method for critiquing and responding to contemporary societal issues. By working in a highly interdisciplinary studio environment, you will build the theoretical and applied skills necessary to contribute to an experience-driven economy.

Teaching is led by active researchers and industry professionals who bridge the gap between academic discourse and real-world creative practice.
