The way people today experience their environment and interact with others is often mediated through new technologies. The discipline of Interaction Design has emerged to ensure the delivery of these technologies enhances all aspects of modern society. This programme looks beyond technology and provides an alternative to conventional UI and UX courses that addresses design’s impact on both people and the planet.

Interaction Design at SIT explores design opportunities through the prototyping and iteration of physical-digital and embodied interactions. Students apply design-led innovation to themes such as mental wellbeing, wearable technologies and social sustainability. The course is taught at SIT’s Highlands campus, which allows us to engage directly with various stakeholders in this unique rural location.
