You combine innovation, technology, management and the customer.
UX and service design deal with the design of the user's overall experience. This includes all experiences with a product or service. Nowadays, the product is diverse and ranges from tangible goods such as furniture to intangible goods such as the service in a restaurant to digital artefacts such as interfaces. In the UX & Service Design (M.A.) degree programme, you learn to design interaction with digital systems. You can set individual focal points through the projects you design. The practical orientation of the degree programme helps you to classify your newly acquired specialist knowledge with a view to the current requirements of service and UX design and to reflect on it in a practical context. As potential managers, you will use your know-how from both disciplines to organise and control design processes. The perspective of service design promotes your holistic view of processes within companies and how they contribute to the overall customer experience. Service Design forms the interface between business, marketing, design and technology. You will learn to research models and associated methods at this interface, to adapt them as necessary and to develop new methods if required.
Your outlook
Your future in UX & Service Design
You will become an expert in user experience and service design.
Both UX design and service design deal with the design of the entire user experience, i.e. the experience with the product. This ranges from material products such as furniture to services in hospitals and interfaces. Your mission is to make services, products and systems user-oriented and successful. To do this, you will learn to research and understand user behaviour. As an expert in design processes in the UX environment and the service environment, you will learn methods from both disciplines. You can choose whether you want to work as a UX designer or as a service designer. Your future workplace can be in classic design and UX design agencies or in industry. You are always in demand when it comes to useroriented solutions - whether in the classic product or service industry.
