Bachelor in Digital Ideation A degree at the intersection of design and computer science

Would you like to create digital experiences – not just code or just design? In the Bachelor’s programme in Digital Ideation, you will learn how to turn ideas into digital products: creative, user-centred and hands-on. You will work on projects and specialise in UX, Web & Mobile or Game Design. Ethics and sustainability are part of the programme from day one.

What you will learn in the Digital Ideation program

Interdisciplinary collaboration:

  • In joint projects, you will work with students from the other subject area from idea to outline, to development and realization. 

Creativity and technology: 

  • You will develop digital applications in project-based studios. Design and technology go hand in hand with a practical orientation in Game Design, UX, and Web and Mobile.

Transdisciplinary modules:

  • Computer scientists and designers take foundational modules together such as Human Computer Interaction and Science and Methods.

Digital culture and responsibility:

  • Adopting a sustainability mindset, you will critically reflect on the current role of technology in society and its impact on the environment. 

Personalized curriculum: 

  • You will have ample opportunity to specialize and shape the course of your program according to your goals and interests.

Professional identity: 

  • You will build your own profile as a web developer, UX designer, game designer, game developer, interaction designer, or as an actor in a new professional field. 

Swap places while studying:

  • You will study in two locations—the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology in Rotkreuz and the Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art in Emmenbrücke—and experience both worlds.
