Experiencing. Prototyping. Learning.

The Interaction Design Programme is a collaborative initiative between Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and The Danish Design School. Our aim is for students, faculty and staff to work together in a multi-cultural, multidisciplinary studio environment to co-create a new kind of education that is relevant for academia and industry.

After a rigorous selection process, 21 students from all around the world have been chosen to participate in a full-time, experimental version of a future Masters course in interaction design. A diverse selection of visiting faculty exposes students to a range of expertise on a fully immersive curriculum.

We believe in a hands-on and user-centered approach to interaction design and this one-year programme teaches students to apply technology to everyday life – through the design of software, products, and services.

Students are taught the programming and electronics skills needed to work with technology as a design medium and frequent work in multi-disciplinary teams encourages peer-to-peer learning. They conduct user-research and experience prototyping to provide real-world grounding to their concepts.

The Danish Ministry of Economy and Trade, The Danish Ministry of Culture, Novo Nordisk and The Danish Design School have awarded financial funding for the programme. The JL Foundation sponsored technical equipment for the project it-lab.
