IIIT-Delhi Launches Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Interaction Design and UX

The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), in collaboration with TimesPro, has announced the launch of the first cohort of its Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Interaction Design and User Experience (UX). The 12-month programme has been designed to equip learners with industry-relevant skills in design thinking, user experience principles, and contemporary interaction design while providing exposure to emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), wearable interfaces, and generative artificial intelligence (AI).

The programme will be delivered by IIIT-Delhi’s faculty members and researchers through a blended learning format that combines live online classes with campus immersion. It aims to help learners develop expertise at the intersection of design, technology, and human behaviour, enabling them to create intuitive and inclusive digital experiences across products, platforms, and connected devices.

According to IIIT-Delhi, the course has been structured to support both professionals seeking career advancement and individuals looking to transition into the rapidly evolving design and innovation ecosystem. The curriculum comprises six modules covering Design Foundation, User Interface and User Experience Design, Human Factors, Evaluation Methodologies, Interaction Design, and Emerging Technologies and New Media, followed by a Capstone Project.

Over the duration of the programme, participants will engage in more than 350 hours of learning through live sessions, recorded content, assignments, projects, and practical exercises. A three-day campus immersion at IIIT-Delhi will be conducted at the end of the programme.

Learners will gain hands-on experience with industry tools and technologies, including Arduino, Unreal Engine, Android Studio, and Figma. The programme also offers exposure to cutting-edge domains such as brain-computer interfaces (BCI), wearable technology, AR/VR applications, and generative AI.

Speaking on the launch, Assistant Professors Pragma Kar and Richa Gupta said the programme has been designed to provide a contemporary and practice-oriented learning journey that integrates design, research, and emerging technologies. TimesPro’s Business Head for Executive Education, Sridhar Nagarajachar, noted that the increasing demand for professionals who can bridge design, technology, and user behaviour makes such specialised programmes highly relevant.

The programme prepares participants for careers as UI/UX Designers, Interaction Designers, Product Designers, UX Researchers, and AR/VR Experience Designers. Graduates from diverse academic backgrounds with a minimum of 50 per cent marks or equivalent CGPA are eligible to apply.
