At Kingston School of Art, you’ll join a creative community where collaboration and critical thinking thrive. Our workshops and studios welcome all courses, providing space for students and staff to share ideas and explore making across different disciplines.
Teaching on the course centres on understanding human experience – how we sense, act and relate – as the heart of innovative design practice. We believe students learn best through making and developing as critical practitioners who influence and shape their creative field.
The BA (Hons) Interaction Design course is based within the vibrant, well-regarded Department of Illustration Animation. We are known for nurturing successful graduates, as well as our human-centred approach to visual communication, design, and immersive storytelling. These key elements will deeply enrich your learning experience.
Within this dynamic environment, you’ll also exchange ideas and approaches which open new opportunities for growth and creativity.
Why choose this course
Interaction Design is all about shaping how people connect with technology, spaces and each other through the devices we use, the environments and spaces we shape, and the stories we tell.
Central to this approach is our relationship to the body and our lived experience. For example, how we experience and respond to the world as individuals, how we move and act within spaces we inhabit, and how we connect as part of groups and communities.
You’ll explore interactive storytelling and immersive experience design using both familiar and emerging technologies. This work will develop inclusive design strategies which reach diverse audiences and find your own creative voice. Your learning will follow this journey, from understanding the body as a sensing instrument and its place within environments to its role within more complex networks.
With access to world-class workshop facilities, including digital making and immersive media labs, expert practitioners will support your skill development. They'll also provide valuable industry insight and encourage you to expand your network. You’ll graduate with a broad skillset and a future-focused portfolio, ready for tomorrow’s evolving creative landscapes.
