8 Interaction Design Masters Degree Programs in Sweden

From our careers and social lives to shopping and entertainment, human life increasingly takes place online, mediated through digital applications and services. This MSc in Interaction Design and Technologies program will allow you to play a vital part in building the next generation of applications, those which may come to define how we live and work in the coming decades.

Interaction design concerns the design of digital artifacts and digitally mediated communication, with a focus on use experience.

The International Master's Programme in User Experience and Interactive Media Design (120 credits) has a multidisciplinary basis, including perspectives from the humanities, social sciences and technology. Courses address central concepts, theories and methods for media production and interaction design.

The MFA in Interaction Design Programme deals with the relation between people and Information Technology with a particular focus on the interaction between product and user.

Interaction design is a rapidly changing discipline, and we maintain the relevance of our education by working with real-world design cases and external clients including local industry partners and cultural and civic organizations. Navigating a shifting design landscape also requires the critical mindset of a scholar, and we foster reflective design by teaching research skills and involving students in active research projects.

The master's programme in Interactive Media Technology provides skills and knowledge in designing, developing and evaluating interactive products and media. Students can explore topics related to human-computer interaction, user experience, and sonic and visual media. We encourage students to work on projects that matter to them and respond to societal challenges. Graduates are experts in industry and academia, and some start their own companies.

Smart technology has already become a staple in our everyday lives and with the further development of artificial intelligence and the internet of things, our relationship with technology will only continue to increase. But like any relationship, our relationship with technology requires clear communication - which is where the Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) comes in. By developing intuitive user interfaces and easy-to-use interactive systems, HCID facilitates how we ‘talk’ to our smart devices. With the EIT Digital master's programme in Human Computer Interaction and Design, you will get the skills and knowledge needed to design the systems that define this interaction.

Life has changed profoundly with the arrival of the digital age, but we are still only in the infancy of the development. Innovative technology and the ways we interact with it has facilitated social connections and sped up communication infrastructure, but also disrupted older media and foundational societal structures.
