A 12-month blended programme to equip learners with advanced capabilities in UX design, interaction design, and emerging experience technologies
New Delhi [India], May 21: Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), in collaboration with TimesPro, has announced the launch of the inaugural cohort of its Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Interaction Design & UX. Conceived as a 12-month, industry-aligned offering, the programme aims to develop strong capabilities in design thinking, user experience principles, and contemporary interaction design, while helping learners build applied expertise in emerging domains such as augmented and virtual reality, wearable interfaces, and generative AI. Designed and delivered by IIIT-Delhi’s faculty members and researchers, the programme follows a blended format that combines live online learning with campus immersion. It introduces learners to interdisciplinary frameworks spanning design, technology, and human factors, enabling them to create intuitive, inclusive, and meaningful experiences across digital products, connected devices, and next-generation platforms. The programme is structured to support both career progression and career transition in the evolving design and innovation ecosystem. The market signals behind this shift remain compelling. The AR/VR in Education market is projected to expand to USD 22.5 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 41.2% during the forecast period. A Forrester study has indicated that a well-designed user interface can improve conversion rates by as much as 200%, while a stronger UX design approach can increase them by up to 400%. At the same time, the global UX industry is expected to reach USD 32.95 billion, reinforcing the rising strategic importance of user-centred design across sectors. Speaking at the announcement of the first batch, Pragma Kar and Richa Gupta, Assistant Professors, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi, observed, “At IIIT Delhi, we view interaction design and user experience as critical disciplines shaping the future of digital innovation. With this programme, we wanted to create a learning journey that is thoughtful, contemporary, and firmly rooted in real-world practice. It brings together design, research, and emerging technologies in a way that can help learners build not just skills, but a sharper, more meaningful design perspective.” Sharing his thoughts, Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro, said, “As digital products grow more immersive, intelligent and human-centred, the demand for professionals who can bridge design, technology and user behaviour continues to rise. Through this programme, learners will gain rigorous academic exposure and applied industry-oriented learning that can help them move into high-growth design roles and contribute meaningfully to product, platform, and experience innovation.” The programme is well-suited for aspiring UI/UX and interaction designers, product designers and developers, engineers seeking to move into UX, creative professionals considering a career shift, and product managers or founders looking to strengthen their design capabilities. It prepares learners for roles such as UI/UX Designer, Interaction Designer, Product Designer, UX Researcher, and AR/VR Experience Designer, among others. TimesPro will deliver the learning experience through its advanced Interactive Learning platform in direct-to-device mode. The curriculum is organised into six modules: Design Foundation; Designing User Interfaces and User Experiences – Applied; Human Factors; Evaluation Methodologies; Interaction Design and Emerging Technology & New Media, followed by a Capstone Project. Over the course of 12 months, learners will engage with more than 350 hours of live sessions, recorded content, projects, assignments, and capstone work. The programme also includes a three-day campus immersion at IIIT-Delhi at the end of the academic journey. Participants will gain exposure to leading tools and technologies such as Arduino, Unreal Engine, Android Studio, and Figma, alongside conceptual and practical grounding in areas including AR/VR, generative AI, brain-computer interface (BCI), and wearable technology. Candidates with a bachelor’s degree and at least 50% marks or equivalent 5 CGPA will be considered for admission. Eligible backgrounds include B.Tech./B.E. (any discipline); B.Sc./BCA in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, IT, Electronics, or related streams; BBA; MBBS; B.Des.; B.Arch.; BFA; related Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science, IT, Economics, Bioinformatics, Design, or Architecture; and BA in Visual Communication, Visual Art, or allied disciplines
