PRESENTATION
The Interaction Design training aims at curious and empathetic students with excellent analytical skills and willing to improve the way people, products and services interact.
Students learn how to design digital products and services. To do so, they will have to define the way people, products and services interact through an interface (screen, voice, movement…). They will imagine the shape and behavior of objects, interfaces or environments. The interactions at stake will concern both the digital dimension of products and their physical and mechanical dimensions.
The course includes two internship periods and ends uo with a pre-employment semester. Most of the internship hiring are made abroad, in a multitude of sectors.
