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。我们通过将理论和研究与开放性的制造和黑客攻击过程相结合，在数据与社会之间的界面上建立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，我们塑造我们周围的世界。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
Design Informatics combines Data Science with Design Thinking in a context of critical enquiry and speculation. We build a value-aware, reflective practice at the interface between data and society by combining theory and research with an open-ended process of making and hacking. The central premise 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. You will use this in working with the internet of things and physical computing, machine learning, speech and language technology, usable privacy and security, data ethics, blockchain technologies. You will connect technology with society, health, architecture, fashion, bio-design, craft, finance, tourism, and a host of other real world contexts, through case studies, individual, and collaborative projects. You will understand user experience in the wider socio-cultural context, through an agile programme of hacking, making and materialising new products and services. The Advanced MSc programme offers students a unique opportunity to deepen their learning through an additional 6-10 week internship, followed by an additional two semesters at Design Informatics where students can develop further as reflective practitioners, makers, and innovators.
