Does designing intuitive and engaging digital experiences come close to your idea of happiness?
The three-year User Experience & User Interface – Interaction Design program prepares the next generation of digital designers to create and develop interactive products, services, systems, and environments. This multidisciplinary curriculum teaches students to integrate functional, aesthetic, technological, and communication aspects into each project, always focusing on the user and the socio-cultural context, with special attention to environmental sustainability.
This course stands out for its innovative, interdisciplinary approach and is structured into two distinct specialization tracks:
- User Experience & User Interface Design – centered on creating advanced multimedia content and designing innovative digital interfaces and services;
- Interaction Design – focused on designing interactive artefacts (including physical ones) and integrating emerging technologies into products, systems, and environments, in order to deliver innovative, rewarding, and inclusive user experiences.
With this dual focus, the program addresses the needs of the digital and creative industry, public institutions, and companies investing in digital transformation and interactive communication. By the end of the course, students will have developed a versatile skill set that enables them to work in the main areas of digital and interactive design: from UX/UI design for web and mobile applications, to smart product design and immersive installations, as well as advanced multimedia content creation.

Learning Objectives
The aim of the First Level Academic Diploma in User Experience & User Interface – Interaction Design is to train designers with a strong command of digital design and interactive design methods and techniques. The curriculum blends broad theoretical knowledge with practical skills to meet the challenges of a market increasingly oriented toward digitalization and human-computer interaction.
In particular, the course seeks to develop designers capable of tackling contemporary complexity, bringing together cross-disciplinary skills ranging from digital interface design to the creation of physical and virtual environments. Students learn to strike a balance between function and aesthetics, to integrate emerging technologies with sustainability principles, and to connect user needs and desires with innovative solutions.
Through its two specialization tracks, the program encourages the adoption of rigorous methodologies grounded in interdisciplinary approaches, while also fostering creativity and innovation. Strong emphasis is placed on developing an ethical sensibility in the use of new technologies, so that future designers remain aware of the social and environmental implications of their design decisions.
Course Structure
The program spans three academic years divided into six semesters, for a total of 180 ECTS credits. Throughout the course, all students follow a common core curriculum — comprising fundamental theoretical courses and foundational design workshops — onto which the specialized courses of the two tracks are built. In this way, from the first year students acquire shared design methods and processes, while in the later years each student can develop advanced skills in their chosen focus area.
Each specialization track also offers opportunities to personalize the study plan through elective courses, workshops, and seminars. For example, the User Experience & User Interface Design track includes courses focused on graphical interface design, digital content production (2D, 3D, video, animation), and system usability; the Interaction Design track features courses devoted to electronic prototyping, immersive technologies (AR/VR), the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence applied to design. Both tracks share courses on design methodology, design culture and aesthetics, as well as other subjects that help contextualize the designer’s work in contemporary society.
Career Opportunities
If your idea of happiness can be summed up by one of these professions, you’re on the right page:
- UI/UX Designer – designs effective user interfaces and engaging digital experiences, optimizing navigation and usability for websites and applications.
- Web Designer & Developer – creates websites and web apps, taking care of both the visual aspects (web design) and the front-end/back-end development to ensure high performance and a quality user experience.
- Multimedia Content Creator – produces original digital content (2D/3D graphics, video, animations) to enhance interactive experiences, communication campaigns, and online platforms.
- Digital Artist – uses digital technologies as a means of expression to create multimedia artworks, interactive installations, and digital event experiences.
- Interaction Designer – designs the interactions between users and complex systems (smart products, connected environments, installations), blending hardware and software to craft immersive, user-friendly experiences.
- Smart Environments Designer – designs intelligent, connected environments (home automation, interactive public spaces, high-tech museum exhibits) that enhance user experience through sensors and automation.
- Creative Technologist – a hybrid role between design and technology, who experiments with and integrates cutting-edge digital technologies (from machine learning to IoT) into projects, turning creative ideas into working prototypes.
- Prototyping Specialist – an expert in rapid prototyping and creating innovative proof-of-concepts, capable of giving concrete form to new products or services through interactive, testable models.
