Project examples from the program

The “Games” modules start with the basic vocabulary of games mechanics. The students find support in the development of their very own developer personality.

User Experience (UX) encompasses the experiences of a user while interacting with a digital medium. In the UK modules of the Digital Ideation program, students develop human-computer interfaces and structure information. In addition to looking great, the results need to be comprehensible and pleasant to experience. With this in mind, students apply standard procedures in order to familiarize themselves with the needs of the expected users. They then carefully test their ideas and designs with a relevant test group and continually improve them on the basis of the testing.
