About programme

Design for the people, design for a better world​

The Master of Science in Technology and Design (Human-Centred Design) programme will shape students into human experts in the world of technology, emphasising user-centricity at every turn.

In an age where technology touches every aspect of our lives, it is paramount that we prioritise the user’s experience, to recognise that technology exists to serve people. When technology is designed with the user’s needs, behaviours and preferences in mind, it has the potential to greatly enhance the way individuals interact with and benefit from the digital world.

By understanding how technologies interact with human behaviour and diverse cultures, graduates of the programme will gain skills to make design more inclusive, equitable, and socially responsible, expanding the reach of your design impact and market potential.
