Interaction Design at Malmö University

Interaction design is about understanding and designing for interactions in specific use situations. It is about the shaping of digital things and digitally enhanced spaces with a particulat focus on users and use situations.

Practical Design Skills and Academic Research

We combine practical design skills with academic research capabilities. You learn to create interaction design that makes a difference in society and everyday life, and to contribute with new and relevant knowledge to the academic community. There is a focus on digital materials, but we explore “the digital” as a part of complex networks of people, places, products and services

Internationally Recognised

We focus on areas where our design and research excellence is internationally recognised: physical computing, collaborative media, place-specific computing, game design and studies, social innovation and interaction design methodology and theory.

Teaching Methods

The programme is generally based on a learning-by-doing approach. Which to us means an iterative, intertwining practice of experimentation and reflection. As teachers we view ourselves as coaches guiding you in this process.

Studio-based

The programme is studio-based – right next to one another there is one studio for the first-year and one for the second-year students. Additionally, you will also have access to our computer rooms, wood workshop and mechatronics lab for Arduino programming. In combination with these workplaces at the university, when appropriate we also encourage working in the relevant contexts of use.

During the session ’Interaction + Design ?’ everyone were telling their initial views of this with images and examples brought along. The session was part of the kick-off and getting to know each other.

Groupwork in multidisciplinary teams

In the first year, the primary way of working is groupwork in multidisciplinary teams with classmates, sometimes other students and other stakeholders. Abilities to work in teams and co-design/co-create with real-world external stakeholders - including ‘users’ - are important parts of our curriculum, and several projects are organized to practice doing this.

Humanistic approach

With our humanistic approach, you will be practicing qualitative research approaches to support your designing of tangible/digital/interactive settings, services, systems and artefacts appropriate for the use situations. We emphasize an understanding – not just of people – but of people in their use situations.

Reflective and experimental design thinking and practical doing

Prototyping in the studio and in the real-world contexts and situations is an integral part of practicing being an interaction designer.

To practice your reflective and experimental design thinking and practical doing, ialmost all projects and courses there are dialogue-based seminars and hands-on workshops for example encouraging practices of: design-oriented ethnographic field work; visualisations and materialisations of issues, ideas and concepts; low-fi and technical experience prototyping – in the studio and in relevant fields e.g. with mock-ups, Arduino-programming and video-sketching; as well as "evaluation of use qualities. All these practices are backed up by literature references and examples.

The thesis project

Lastly, as your thesis project will be a combination of a design project and reflective writing, throughout the semesters you will also be exploring different ways and formats of reflecting upon, communicating and writing about your work and progress.

Who are you?

Interaction design requires the fusion of multiple skill sets. We recruit students with different backgrounds—design, media, engineering, the arts, and social sciences—and focus our teaching on creating disciplinary synergy in the concrete design work.

Reikalaujamas išsilavinimas

Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.

ECTS kreditų išrašas– jei dar nesi baigęs universtiteto, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Jei siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diploma ir jo vertimą reikės prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi. ĮSIDĖMĖK, Prie anketos būtinai turi prisegti dokumentą (anglų kalba), patvirtinantį, kad studijuojI ir šiais metais baigsi savo studijas. Dokumentas turi būti patvirtinas universiteto administracijos.
Bakalauro diplomas - Jei jau esi baigęs universitetą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.

DĖMESIO TIEMS, KURIE JAU TURI BAKALAURO DIPLOMĄ!

Jau baigę Bakalauro studijas ir norintys aplikuoti į Magistrantūros studijų programas Malmo universitete užpildytą Kastu anketą su visais reikiamais dokumentais gali atsiųsti iki SAUSIO 10 d. ĮSIDĖMĖKITE, kad Kastu anketoje jau turi būti įkeltas Bakalauro diplomas ir jo vertimas į anglų kalbą.

IELTS/TOEFL anglų kalbos sertifikatus privalote atsiųsti iki SAUSIO 28 D.

Atsakymo iš universiteto, ar esate priimtas, sulauksite jau Kovo viduryje!

Anglų kalbos reikalavimai

Svarbu, jog anglų kalbos testo sertifikatą atsiųstum iki BIRŽELIO 17 d. Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:

IELTS – 6.5(iš kiekvienos dalies ne mažiau nei 5.5).
TOEFL – 90 (rašymo dalies rezultatas privalo būti ne mažesnis nei 20. TOEFL testo rezultatai privalo būti nusiųsti tiesiogiai iš centro, kuriame laikei testą).

Svarbūs reikalavimai

1. Degree of Bachelor or equivalent in subjects relevant for interaction design. Examples of relevant subjects include, but are not limited to: computer science,informatics, information systems, human-computer interaction, new media arts,fine arts, design (industrial, product, graphic, interaction), communication studies,media studies and cognitive science.

2. Approval of the following submitted material: 2 x work samples of previous relevant work and an individual response to the application assignment:

Two work samples or portfolio pieces, to show your craft skills and your ability to execute. For each sample, we like you to explain briefly why you chose it and what you think it says. (If it is joint work, be sure to indicate your contributions clearly).
Your response to a design assignment that you can download here The assignment is intended to test your sense of how to approach an interaction design situation; we are looking for your thoughts on process rather than product ideas.
A letter of motivation, detailing why you chose to apply to the programme and what you aspire to doing upon graduation.

Students enter the programme with different kinds of expertise, from art and design to engineering and social sciences. Upon graduation, you will have built a strong understanding of how your particular skills play a role in interaction design and how they combine with other specialities of fellow designers.

Potential positions

Most alumni move on to positions as interaction designers, user experience specialists or usability architects in the ICT, telecom and media industries. For some, this involves finetuning the interfaces and interactions of current products to users' needs; other interaction designers work on concept development for future products and services. Yet other alumni find their calling in strategic positions where the role of interaction design is considered in relation to market and business development.

Some interaction designers are also found in the role of change agents in public organizations and NGOs.

Connections to world-class research

Finally, thanks to the close connections to world-class research, the programme prepares its graduates to enter academic research institutes. A fair number of alumni have moved on to PhD studies and positions as university teachers and researchers, in Sweden as well as abroad.
