Study
MA Major Interaction Design
The Master’s degree specialization in Interaction Design builds in-depth methodological, conceptual and technological expertise. Students develop their own research-focused projects at the interface between the real and virtual worlds.
With core subjects such as Embodied Interaction and Immersive Experience, this subject area has close links with research and enables Master’s students specializing in Interaction Design to test out the knowledge they have already acquired in interdisciplinary settings. With numerous opportunities to collaborate with international companies and research partners, innovation and practical relevance are guaranteed.
Further information concerning the MA Interaction Design programme can be found here. More general information about the master studies at the ZHdK can be found here.
Application
With the introduction of the new Major-minor study model in the fall semester 2024, the study time will change from 3 to 4 semesters with 120ECTS in total. Applications will open at the end of November 2024 and will run until mid February 2025. Exact deadlines are to be announced. Further information regarding Major-minor can be found here.
The application requires, amongst others, a portfolio of your work, a letter of motivation and a description of the proposed master project. The programme is open for students with diverse backgrounds and does not necessarily require a bachelor degree in interaction design or design in general.
