ICT & Media Design Fontys University of Applied Science

Human life and society are becoming increasingly intertwined with media, IT, and technology. Interaction with our everyday environment via IT is ubiquitous. Controlling the lights, heating and energy consumption in your houses, (online) shopping, supermarket payments, music, watching series, film, playing games, driving your car, making an appointment with your hairdresser, maintaining and starting social connections and operating your microwave oven: all, and more, are done with digital apps and interfaces.

The study programme ICT & Media Design is about the design and development of the relation and interaction between humans and media technology. You'll be trained as a user experience designer and developer. You'll learn to discover user and customer needs, to create new creative and meaningful concepts, develop prototypes and gorgeous UX/Visual designs. You improve your work via expert feedback and user testing. Techniques that you learn to use include frontend development techniques like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and related libraries. You'll learn how to apply storytelling, user centered design and gamification.
