How does one actually become a user experience designer? These bachelor's and master's degree programs in Germany provide a good foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing first: Of course, you don't have to study user experience design directly to work as a UX designer later on. Many (media) computer scientists, psychologists, sociologists and even some career changers work in this field. But if you want to specialize early on, you should take a look at this list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Which interests should I have to study UX Design?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This question basically deserves its own article, but the short answer is probably this: A degree with a focus on UX design is usually interdisciplinary, meaning that several disciplines are involved. Often it is psychology (incl. statistics), computer science and design, but also ergonomics and business administration. Accordingly, the content of such a degree is diverse and a general interest in these areas is a good prerequisite. You should also not be afraid of numbers, as programming and statistics are often compulsory subjects - however, you don't have to be a math genius either, as most (if not all) of it can be learned. Since the focus of each course is somewhat different, you can also choose according to your own interests and abilities.\n\nTranslated with www.DeepL.com\/Translator (free version)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are the titles of the programs all different?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This has probably grown historically at universities and universities of applied sciences, depending on which departments are involved. However, common terms are Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Human Factors and User Experience Design. The designation thus also gives a first indication of the specialist orientation. While degree programs with the name Human-Computer Interaction often have a greater computer science focus (such as at LMU), the designation \"Interaction or Interface Design\" rather indicates a degree program with a focus on design.\n\nTranslated with www.DeepL.com\/Translator (free version)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should you look for when choosing a program?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even if you know what major you want to study, there's still the question of which major is actually right for you. Here are a few guiding questions that can help you choose a course of study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
