Media & Interaction Design (B.A.)

3

Media & Interaction Designers work on different complex projects in a domain between design and technology and within interdisciplinary teams. The competence to ideate, plan and implement projects holistically and interdisciplinary is one of the key competences of Media & Interaction Designers.

• Project planning and project management in the context of creative design work
• Design methods and design ideation
• Iterative design process
• Communication skills in collaboration, presentation, documentation

Knowledge Broadening
The students are able to solve design problems from the context of HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and HMI (Human-Machine Interfaces) in a methodically manner and based on user-oriented design principles. They can describe their design argumentatively and present it professionally.
Knowledge Deepening
Students are able to solve the design problems they have been assigned with by applying technological and design skills they have already been set up with;; they furthermore acquire more specific knowledge if required to solve the problem.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
Students are able to solve design problems, conceptually, methodically, as well as using different technologies for their design. They recognize the appropriate technology for a specific solution and use it.
Communicative Skills and Competences
Students are able to articulate their design decisions in a scientifically, artistically and economically correct and appropriate manner depending on various communicative situations.
Systemic Skills and Competences
Students are able to apply their design skills in interdisciplinary groups and in the context of an iterative design process. They are able to coordinate this process and direct it in a results-oriented manner. Students are aware of the ethical dimension of their design and constantly evaluate their actions within the design process.
