You combine innovation, technology, management and the customer.

In our UX & Service Design (M.A.) degree programme, you will learn to combine innovation, technology, management, and customer experience to design the user’s overall inter- action with digital and analogue systems. You will have the opportunity to set individual focus areas through the projects you design and apply your newly acquired knowledge in a practical context.

As potential managers, you will use your expertise in both UX and service design to organise and control design processes. Service design promotes a holistic view of processes within companies and how they contribute to the overall customer experience. You will learn to research models and methods at the interface between business, marketing, design, and technology, adapting them as necessary and developing new methods if required.

Your outlook

Your future in UX & Service Design

You will become an expert in user experience and service design.

As an expert in user experience and service design, you will become skilled in designing the entire user experience with products, from material goods like furniture to services in hospitals and interfaces. Your goal will be to make services, products, and systems user- oriented and successful by researching and understanding user behaviour.

You will learn methods from both UX and service design disciplines and have the option to specialise as a UX designer or a service designer. Your expertise will be in demand in classic design and in UX design agencies or in the industry, where you will be able to develop user-oriented solutions for both product and service industries.
