Immersive Education
Each year, 18-26 people come together from all over the world together to participate in the Interaction Design Programme. An immersive curriculum covers tangible and screen-based interfaces, service design and strategic thinking. We place equal importance on teamwork, communication, and collaboration as much as technical and design skills.
A Global Perspective
We value life experience, open-mindedness, and different cultures. We push the boundaries of interaction design by hosting international visiting faculty who are highly regarded experts in their respective fields. The diverse backgrounds of the IDP participants provides an effective platform for peer-to-peer learning. So far we've had participants from 45 countries: Australia, Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal. Norway, Poland, Portugal, Peru, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, The Netherlands, Turkey, Ukraine, UK, and the US.
Bridging Education and Industry
