This course blends technical proficiency in industry-standard design software with creative exploration of core design principles. Students work in a studio-like environment, responding to real-world briefs with guidance from experienced lecturers who specialise in interactive and UX design.Use the skills you've gained in the first half of the year to work on your Major Project. This is your opportunity to work on your passion project, create incredible work to bolster your design portfolio, and even enter some of New Zealand's prestigious design award competitions.
