Description

The two-year Interaction Design diploma at CapU connects design and technology to prepare you for an exciting career in tech.

Your training will focus on areas such as user experience (UX) design and user interface (UI) design, user research, visual design, motion design, coding, branding, web/app design and working with new technologies and how to manage digital environments and workflows. 

You'll learn in project-based, hands-on experiential environment. Courses are taught by faculty from the local design community and apply the same programs and tools working professionals use.
