This subject was previously known as User Interface and Experience Design.

Understanding the profiles, needs and contexts of end-users is integral to designing an effective and engaging user experience. In this subject, students will build upon the fundamental principles of user-interface and user-experience design covered in prior units. Students will have the opportunity to apply these intermediate UX design concepts to real-world design scenarios by designing, testing, iterating and prototyping a digital product.
