设计信息学将数据科学与设计思维结合在一起，以进行严格的询问和推测。通过将理论和研究与开放式制作和黑客入侵过程相结合，我们在数据与社会之间的界面上构建了一种价值意识的反思性实践。中心前提是数据是设计的媒介：通过塑造数据，我们塑造了周围的世界。数据科学为此提供了基础，而设计思维则通过设计来支持反思性研究。您将在与物联网和物理计算，机器学习，语音和语言技术，可用的隐私和安全性，数据伦理，区块链技术结合使用时使用它。您将通过案例研究，个人和协作项目，将技术与社会，健康，建筑，时尚，生物设计，工艺，金融，旅游以及其
Design informatics combines data science with design thinking in a context of critical enquiry to create compelling and meaningful new data-driven experiences, products and services.<br><br>The central premise of design informatics is that data is a medium for design: by shaping data, we shape the world around us. Data science provides the groundwork for this, with design thinking underpinning reflective research through design.<br><br>Our programme focuses on providing foundational skills on the integration of design thinking and data science with an emphasis on exploring the role of data-driven technologies in society and the potential of such technologies to be a social good. Students are supported to develop an ethically aware, critically reflective technical practice at the interface between data and society by combining theory and research with an open-ended process of making and hacking.<br><br>The programme will provide foundational and advanced knowledge in:<br><br>Fundamentals of data science and its integration into design processes<br>Methods of user research, end user co-design and speculative design<br>Programming for data visualisation, data physicalisation, physical computing and responsive materials<br>Data ethics and its application in research and practice<br>You will connect data-driven technology with contexts and domains, such as:<br><br>Societal challenges and sustainable development goals<br>Health and care<br>Fashion<br>Finance<br>Urban spaces and smart cities.<br><br>Career opportunities<br>This degree will put you at the cutting edge of the intersection between data science, design, and information technology.<br><br>This will open a host of opportunities in working with companies, charities, and the public sector. We encourage entrepreneurship.<br><br>For those who wish to deepen their research practice, the course provides a solid foundation for a PhD in related areas.
