MODEL 5 AND POLITECNICO DI MILANO

TOGETHER FOR THE MASTER COURSE IN USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN

The 16th edition of the User Experience Design Course at the Experience Design Academy (XDA), the applied research center of Politecnico di Milano dedicated to User Experience in both the digital and physical fields, concluded in recent days with great success.

The master’s degree was the first developed under the patronage of Model 5, marking the beginning of the strategic partnership between Model 5 and the Politecnico di Milano, signed with the aim of training tomorrow’s professionals in the increasingly crucial area of UX/ UI Design.

A partnership in which Model 5, as sponsor and supervisor of the course, actively collaborated with Experience Design Academy (www.xdapolidesign.com), POLI.design’s applied research center dedicated to User Experience, in both the digital and physical fields.

A training, coaching and applied research center for companies and institutions, based on a polytechnic approach that allows deep reflection and design awareness to propose different hypotheses and verify their effectiveness, in an iterative process.

The course developed an intense Project Work activity, stimulated and supervised by Model 5, which pushed the class to generate valuable digital experiences in the automotive sector. A complex topic, but also a valuable training ground for designing the UX, which required the selection of the most significant user stories for the reference personas and natively thinking of an interaction choreography that would enhance synchronous communication between multiple screens.

It will now be the responsibility of the User Interface Design Course, starting in the next days, to bring these prototypes to a pixel-perfect level of fidelity.

The development of this partnership confirms the vocation of Model 5 to collaborate with the most important and prestigious academic institutions. The objective is to create a center of excellence capable of attracting, enhancing and training the best talents in a strategic area such as UX-UI Design, helping them to become the best professionals of tomorrow.
