The UX Design & Interactive Environments course completes the 4th year of the Interior Architecture & Design programme with a master's degree specialising in all the areas covered by the current digital transformation. In close connection with the fields of service and user experience, they work on design and interior architecture projects driven by digital innovations.

Presentation of the course

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT FOR A SPECIALISATION IN UX DESIGN & INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS?

The specialised Master's degree in UX Design & Interactive Environments opens the door to professions that are currently in full expansion. With the increasing digitalisation of our daily lives and the technologies integrated into our lifestyles, the service designer is involved in an increasingly wide range of fields.

Digitalisation is now impacting all sectors of activity, requiring us to change our connection to the world and rethink our uses in both the virtual and real worlds. Thus, in the corporate, commercial, private and public sectors, the user experience is at the centre of our concerns. 

Accelerated by the current planetary context induced by the pandemic, the creation of new services has become the essential outcome for many fields to continue to exist, diversify and reinvent themselves. As a result, new fields of opportunity and sectors to be invested in for UX Design and interactive environments are emerging.

The UX designer is interested in the user's experience and designs interactive products or services that can take several forms: spaces, objects, environments and digital applications... thus linking the virtual to the real world.

WHAT SKILLS WILL YOU ACQUIRE?

Students analyse the market, work in the field in relation to users and rely on the designer's and interior architect's capacity for abstraction, strategic vision and mastery of representation and formalisation tools to design innovative services and implement a project strategy, from its conception to its completion.

Graduates will have the ability to manage an innovation project, both in terms of its basic strategy and its formal implementation. They will design the architecture of new services while mastering their material dimension. They will therefore work on graphic interfaces, objects and products and space.

At the end of the course, graduates will be able to:

  • Develop an interior architecture and design programme by analysing the client's request.
  • Design a solution based on the identification of trends and innovations, in order to promote it to the client.
  • Manage the implementation of a project and the activities of selected service providers and suppliers.

LISAA's approach to teaching is geared to the progress of the student towards successful professional integration. To achieve this, it uses a variety of methods:

  • A project-based teaching method: individual or group work on real cases submitted by a partner company or on representative cases. The student presents his project report orally and in writing, accompanied by visuals and models. His or her presentation is evaluated by the trainers and or professionals from the partner company.
  • Training led by teachers who are working professionals and experts in their field.
  • Individual pedagogical follow-up allowing each student to situate him/herself in his/her progress towards the acquisition of skills and to prepare his/her project and professional integration.
  • Within the framework of the work-study programme, students benefit from support modules to help them find a company to sign a professional contract or an apprenticeship.
  • Meetings and conferences led by former students and professionals are organised at the school.
  • Internship periods are integrated into the training to allow students to develop their skills in the field.

Students are assessed throughout the course:

  • Role-playing exercises put the student in a situation of active listening and exchange with the client, allowing him/her to evaluate his/her negotiation skills in particular. 
  • An oral presentation of the project file (30 to 40 minutes)
  • The student presents his/her project with the file worked on during the year of training, before a jury composed of professionals from outside the school. The jury will assess the student's professional attitude and the quality of the project in its visual presentation, its feasibility, its realism and its risk-taking...
  • Several case studies are proposed based on a real interior architecture or design project, putting the student in the position of project manager and allowing the evaluation of his or her ability to manage the realization of a project.
  • A report on experience and professional activity is presented, linked to the work placement or work-study programme.

The teaching team is made up of working architecture and design professionals. They are constantly updating the content of their courses to keep up with the evolution of the profession and the job market.

ACCESSIBILITY FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

Any student or work-study student can ask for help from the disability advisor before or during the course to obtain advice and assistance in adapting the course, assessments and finding a host company.

Acquiring professional expertise is not only a matter of assimilating theoretical knowledge, but also of confronting this knowledge in the field. Quality professional training must allow students to explore the techniques and mechanisms involved in the professional world, whatever their specialisation, in order to present a profile in line with the requirements of employers looking for young talent.

LISAA offers a number of sandwich courses, apprenticeships and professional training contracts. Thus, students are available to companies for part of their training. Once they have graduated, they have a good level of qualification and significant professional experience which enables them to be fully operational in the structures that hire them.

LISAA's teaching teams support students in their research for work experience, particularly through a large network of partner companies, but also through the alumni network and during speed-recruiting sessions for sandwich students.
