Undergraduate Certificate in Interactive Media

We are surrounded by design in the modern world. Interactive media designers shape the digital platforms, apps and products we use every day, while user experience considers how people interact with technology and how it makes them feel. This specialised certificate builds the technical and creative ability you need to enter this dynamic field of design.

In this program you will:

  • Learn to think creatively, analytically and sustainably to solve design-related problems and effectively communicate your concepts
  • Study in small classes facilitated by academics with extensive industry experience
  • Have the opportunity to progress with full credit into USC's Bachelor of Design
