Overview

The Digital Design program at the University of Kent combines design principles with the creative possibilities of new technology, preparing students to solve complex design challenges and gain essential expertise for the creative industries. This program takes a practical and theoretical approach, focusing on designing and building interactive products and services. Students develop core design and technical skills in areas like 3D fundamentals, programming, and interaction design in their first year, progressing to advanced topics such as 3D production, interactive environments, and immersive experiences in their second year. The final year culminates in a major project tailored to individual interests and career aspirations, which could involve interactive or immersive experiences, or web-based applications. Students also have the option to undertake a year abroad between their second and final years, offering valuable personal, academic, and professional development opportunities.
