Interfacedesign

About this program

The innovative degree program combines User Experience (UX) with User Interface Design (UI) and a lot of creativity. Digital technology is ubiquitous in our world and offers designers enormous scope for design! From user-centered smartphone apps to experimental data visualizations to immersive media productions in Virtual Reality – interface designers shape all of this and much more. The Interfacedesign degree program offers a multifaceted education that addresses current and relevant issues of digital change in close exchange with research and practice. The focus of the studies is on content that covers both theoretical understanding and practical skills. The following topics are exemplary for the creative and critical engagement with the challenges and possibilities of digitalization within the scope of studies at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. Creativity is at the heart of every design study. Creativity here means both finding one's own visual language and developing problem-solving skills. In almost all design projects, both aspects must be considered equally. A beautiful interface does not solve a problem – a good structure that is poorly presented is incomprehensible. Creativity in studies and in professional life means finding innovative and sustainable solutions to problems and designing elegant interfaces. Accordingly, creativity is also taught, trained, and practiced in the Interface Design degree program at FH Potsdam. Creativity techniques are taught, aesthetic experiments are carried out, and complex problems are worked on even in the foundational studies. There is no single, correct way in creative processes. Rather, our goal is to teach you strategies with which you can independently work on complex problems both aesthetically and conceptually. With the teaching of design and methodological competence, you will be enabled to answer two seemingly simple questions.
