Graduate Interaction Design Careers
The demand for senior interaction designers who can navigate complexity, make strategic decisions, and lead teams at the intersection of design, technology and human experience has never been higher. The IxD MDes prepares graduates to step into those roles.
Our alumni are working at Apple, Google, Meta, Samsung, Hyundai, Capital One, Experian and a growing range of startups and emerging companies shaping the next wave of products and services. They lead design teams, run studios, manage cross-functional organizations, and hold seats at tables where consequential decisions get made. Some alums choose the freedom of being freelance individual contributors; others go the entrepreneurial route and start their own business. The program supports all of these pathways.
Our emphasis on AI, XR, futurecasting, pluriversal research, and strategic leadership maps directly onto what organizations are hiring for right now, and what they'll need as the field continues to evolve.
