MSc User Experience Design at Brighton

Hello! I recently got a conditional offer from the University of Brighton for MSc User Experience Design programme. Could anybody please tell me about the university and the programme with regard to knowledge, exposure, faculty and employability. Your inputs would be really helpful for me to make a decision. Thank you!

Hi

I know you were probably looking for a student to reply, but I thought I might be able to help.

The User Experience Design MSc at the University of Brighton is Accredited by the British Computer Society, The Chartered Institute for IT for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional. Graduates of this course will be able to work as commercial interaction designers on both software and software-enabled physical products. This may also be a starting point for a research career in human-centred interaction design.

Previous graduates are working in roles that include:

digital consultant
senior developer
UX designer
web designer
digital marketer

Through the course you will build advanced research, analytical and communication skills through working on your dissertation. At the end of the taught element there is the possibility of a placement with a digital media company for the major project module. This puts real experience on your CV as you consolidate your expertise.

You will also benefit from access to the computer suites with professional standard software, digital and games studios and our usability lab with eye-tracking technology.

The University work particularly closely with Zoonou ltd, an East Sussex-based software testing and QA consultancy.
