MSc Digital Product Design and Innovation

University College Cork

Our MSc Digital Product Design and Innovation is a 12-month (full-time) taught master's degree course, aimed at creatively minded honours graduates from any discipline. You will learn to design, build and launch digital products and services that people actually want to use.

Code is now faster and cheaper to produce than ever. Deciding what to build is not. That takes judgement: which problem to solve, which solution to choose, and whether it's worth building at all. This course teaches that judgement. You will learn to base design decisions on user needs and business requirements, and to use AI to speed up your work without handing over your thinking.

The course is open to honours graduates from any discipline. If you studied computing or engineering, you will add user research, design and product strategy to the technical skills you already have. If you come from business, the arts, humanities or social sciences, no programming experience is needed: you will learn to build and test working prototypes yourself. Either way, you will leave with a portfolio of work tested by real users.
