Bachelor of Digital Experience Design (Bridge) (G302) (Co-op)

The Honours Bachelor of Digital Experience Design is a four-year degree that produces designers who can solve problems using human-centred, socially conscious and economically viable digital solutions.

In this program, students will develop the ability to critically analyze and adapt to ever-changing conditions of technology and culture. Foundational courses build their analytical, technical and business skills. In upper-year courses and capstone projects, students will collaborate on digital interfaces and applications, as well as interactive environments and objects.

The curriculum focuses on three areas of learning based on the digital experience design process: • Think: design thinking, theory, culture and research. • Make: designing, building and testing digital experiences. • Ship: entrepreneurship and the commercialization of digital products.

Digital experience design includes related fields such as service design, user experience design, and interaction design. It involves understanding human behaviour and human computer interaction, conducting research and usability studies, managing projects and working in teams, applying business skills, working with existing and emerging digital technologies, prototyping new ideas and anticipating future trends.

Interactive Digital Media is a growing industry that is quickly changing, driven by shifts in consumer behaviour and technology. Graduates of this program will be able to contribute to and eventually lead interdisciplinary teams to solve problems across a variety of fields such as security, transportation, education and manufacturing. The degree also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in a wide range of academic disciplines.
