Key Summary
Introduction
If you're passionate about creating the digital solutions of the future and fascinated by how technology and design merge to make a difference in people's lives, then IT Product Development is a perfect fit for you.
What is IT Product Development?
IT Product Development involves designing, programming, and constructing IT products that not only solve problems but also create new opportunities for individuals, businesses, and communities.
In this program, you'll learn about software development, product and interaction design, prototyping, augmented reality (AR), algorithms, computer architecture, and much more.
Prior experience with programming is not a requirement as you'll learn it from scratch. You'll also conduct user research, as this forms the basis for your new, innovative digital and physical products.
You'll experience how creativity and logic go hand in hand as you evolve your ideas into physical prototypes. You can be involved in creating solutions for smart home technology, health technology, interactive furniture, tools for online collaboration, or digital installations for the entertainment industry.
Below, you can read more about the structure of the program, your career opportunities, and student life at IT Product Development.
