Programme Overview

Interactive Technologies hold a unique key to the future. While studying this major, you will be able to leverage the best existing technologies in your own creative practice, while also leading and envisioning new technologies.

The Interactive Technologies program is a distinctive combination of the disciplines of Computer Science, Design Thinking & Research Methodologies, all grounded in a foundation of ethics.

Focus Areas

Students who take the Interactive Technologies major will specialize in the one of following fields in their fourth year:

Computer Science & Software Programming

You will learn the fundamentals of programming to adapt to any language quickly. The curriculum is designed to cover the modern basics of A/B testing, Machine Learning, and Agile Methodologies. You’ll learn how to work “Lean” to maximize learning in the shortest time possible. You will also code Machine Learning algorithms from scratch, ensuring you are ready for the future Singularity.

User Interface & Creative Technologies

You will gain a strong understanding of social science domains, including ethnography, to create societally relevant products. You will learn to develop processes with research tools and analytical abilities. You will be informed of the history and evolution of design, arts, and aesthetics. And have the opportunity to learn design principles and adeptly use creator tools.

Hardware Design and Implementation

Leveraging the best of hardware and software development skills, you will become adept in architecting and developing software for IoT-ready products and services.

Please Note : BDes and BBA (PGD) students will specialize in areas of Design or Business Administration.

The real power of interactive technologies is that they let us learn in ways that aren’t otherwise possible or practical.
