Interactive Design and Development

Design the Future

Designing Intelligent Experiences with AI Powered Innovation

Our Interactive Design & Development course reflects the profound shift in the digital and creative landscape integrating human-centered principles with cutting edge technologies including AI & Agentic Design. Emphasis is placed on creating accessible GUIs, intuitive VUIs, responsive Systems & Apps Design with Design Thinking Iterations, Lean Methodologies & Agile Practices. This program develops our graduates to conceptualise, prototype and build intelligent UI/UX experiences that adapt to intelligent applications and user behaviour in collaborative systems. 

 

This course produces visionary Experience Architects and Product Strategists ready to redefine the boundary between user intent and machine intelligence. In an era where software must be empathetic yet autonomous, learners will engage in rigorous design sprints to master Human-AI Interaction Design, moving beyond static screens to engineer fluid conversations between humans and machines. This is design redefined for a world where trust is the ultimate metric, ensuring graduates can craft not just visual layers but the ethical logic that governs automated systems. Key learning topics include AI Agent & Automation Architecture, Ethical AI & User Experience Strategy, Human-AI Interaction Design and more.

  • Aesthetics Meets AI: 
    You possess a passion for the intersection of aesthetics and technology with a dedicated interest in the profound and multifaceted impact of Artificial Intelligence.
  • The Invisible Revolution: 
    You are curious about the revolution of invisible interfaces and how interactions across haptics, voice, and automated agents are achieved in the modern economy.
  • Ethical Innovation: 
    You aspire to build the professional expertise required to create ethical, inclusive, and highly optimized interactions between human users and intelligent systems.
  • Zero UI Landscape: 
    You will focus on the transition from traditional interfaces to a landscape defined by Zero UI and agentic automation, learning to operate as both a generalist and specialist across design and development functions.

  • Generative Synergy: 
    You will build a solid foundation in design and development by exploring the synergy of generative speed and systemic optimization.
  • Ethical Governance: 
    You can apply advanced frameworks for validation and ethical governance to ensure that every automated interaction remains consistent and unbiased.
  • Contextual Communication: 
    You have the opportunity to develop high-level expertise in contextual communication and Vibe Coding to articulate complex design concepts with professional clarity.
  • Strategic Synthesis: 
    You will synthesize insights into robust strategies for future interfaces and automated workflows while maintaining a focus on human-centered intentionality.
  • Professional Mastery: 
    You are encouraged to demonstrate professional mastery by navigating the intersection of technical agency, governance, and creative self-awareness.

Our program focuses on the professional discipline of designing interactive experiences that harmonize aesthetics with high-speed automation. Throughout the four-year degree, our students acquire the architectural and design skills necessary to create innovative interactions for a landscape where Zero UI and Agentic AI are fundamental.

 

The curriculum consists of theory modules and practical sessions that foster inquiry-based learning. We focus on the concurrent application of interaction design, user experience strategy and the construction of intelligent automation workflows. By treating ethics, design and architecture as a single professional language, we ensure our students are prepared for the multifaceted roles required in the future technological economy.

The evolution of the digital landscape has increased the demand for multifaceted professionals who can operate across design and development functions. This creates diverse career opportunities for specialists capable of architecting the next generation of intelligent and responsive digital products. Some examples of job opportunities are:

 

  • AI UI/UX Designer & Developer
  • AI Agent Strategist
  • AI Voice Designer
  • Ethical UI/UX Designer
  • Automation Architect
  • Zero UI Interaction Specialist
  • Intelligent Product Strategist
