Description of the programme
Have you ever been triggered by poor user experience? Or when you install a program and it does not work the way it should? The reviews in the App Store, Play Store, etc. talk about missing or confusing functions, but there are also a lot of satisfied customers that find the app to be a lifesaver.
One of the goals of the ‘UX Design & Management‘ programme is to ensure that your program or app makes it into the group of satisfied customers. You will also learn how to develop a business model that is sustainable in the digital world, as well as other topics that will help you create a successful business model. You will be learning all of this and more by putting theory into practice and working on your own projects.

The master's programme lasts three semesters, in which you acquire the skills to work in companies in the area of user experience, but to also be a product owner or strategic planner in similar fields.
You will gain practical knowledge through numerous projects and case studies in each semester.
