Interaction design contributes to the creation of products, services and systems, with which we interact intuitively and efficiently. It is interaction designers’ intention to create material and functional conditions for behaviour change in people, both in large and small scales.
The Master in Interaction Design results from a partnership between two schools of the University of Lisbon (Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Fine Arts).
It adds in this way multidisciplinary skills, corresponding to areas of knowledge which have been developed for several years in these Schools, through Laboratories and Research Centres.
Knowledge and research developed are now gathered to establish a distinct training and contribute to professional and research needs in this area of activity.
This Master’s programme explores the boundaries between design methodologies, user-centred design and new technological developments as engines for creating high value-added products. It combines in an integrated way: design process, usability and user experience, associated with graphic communication, digital games, cognitive psychology, virtual reality, sensorization and neuroscience.
