About this course

Digital design is a discipline at the intersection of creative visual thinking and the technical skills needed to produce compelling digital products, services, and experiences. It draws on graphic design, user experience design, interaction design, and digital media production, combining aesthetic judgement with an understanding of how people engage with digital environments and what makes those environments effective and enjoyable.

The three-year full-time Digital Design BSc at Brunel University London is a modern, hands-on programme that combines digital technology and creative design. The course has been developed to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to create, design, and develop interactive and engaging digital products, services, and experiences, as well as 2D and 3D graphical content. You will work with industry-standard design and development tools, learning to apply both creative thinking and technical competence to real-world design challenges.

The curriculum covers the principles of user experience and interaction design, visual communication, motion graphics, prototyping, and the digital production workflows that professional designers use.

With a typical entry tariff of 104 points, the programme is accessible to students who combine visual creativity with technical interest. Brunel's London location and industry connections support both the quality of teaching and students' access to the professional networks and opportunities that the design sector offers.

Graduates from digital design programmes pursue careers as UX designers, UI designers, digital product designers, motion graphics artists, web designers, and visual communicators in agencies, technology companies, media organisations, and in-house design teams across virtually every sector. Postgraduate study in design, interaction design, or human-computer interaction is also an option for those wishing to specialise further.

Would do it again
This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the final show is a proper platform — industry people come to see it. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city — the city is a bri
