Your career after a course in Interaction Design

Interaction design is the practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems and services. It focuses on behavior - how users act and how products respond to user behavior. Often abbreviated as IxD, it aims to define and facilitate interaction between human beings by means of a product or a service. It focuses on the possibilities to create and encourage behavior facilitating an exchange between people.

However, applicants must also need to be a creative thinker as well as technologically capable.
