About the Program
The Minor Program App Design & Development provides an introduction and practical experience in interaction design and front-end development of mobile applications. More and more industries require interdisciplinary know-how, that is knowledge that merges design and development skills, for example, to create new experiences such as mobile apps, games, virtual reality experiences or automotive apps. This Minor focuses on practice-oriented HCI, which is a Human Centred Iterative interaction design approach. Each semester there are a number of projects students will be able to subscribe to. Due to the close proximity to the automotive industry in Stuttgart, there will be at least one project working directly with an automotive partner.
