Training objectives

The Course aims to provide the theoretical foundations and best practices on the basis of which to make the best choices when designing new digital products, giving a holistic view of the world of User Experience, its methodologies and the mindset required of professionals who deal with it.

Didactic Plan

In a context now pervaded by digital products and services, User Experience has acquired a role of fundamental importance in the last decade: the increase in digital interfaces is a fact and for this reason it is essential to know how to design them with quality and professionalism. User Experience is a complex mix of skills, ranging from the ability to conduct a preliminary research phase – aimed at understanding the needs of end users – to the development of interactive prototypes to be tested before the final release on the market.
