This course explores the interaction between brands and consumers by describing the User Experience (UX). This discipline is now seen as critical to success in both B2B and B2C organisations and with both products and services. Students will develop the skills necessary to design user-centred market offerings, focussing on digital products.

This is an online course of 10 credits. This requires 100 hours of student-led learning. Unlike a face to face course, online learning can be divided into directed and guided learning, rather than contact and non-contact hours. What is described as a lecture is, in fact, a series of teacher led activities (TLA) or directed teaching, such as direction to reading, video, audio, case studies or other resources. Workshops are synchronous online events which allow student-led exploration of a specified topic. This course combines TLAs (lectures in this form) with workshops focussing on a work-based group project, supported by a guest speaker and the use of simulation. Assessment is based on group work with presentation, based on a work study and also a company report.
