Get strategic and practical knowledge about digital concepts
With a bachelor’s degree in Digital Concept Development, you will be qualified to develop digital concepts that support your company's activities on digital platforms. You will be well equipped to carry out strategic considerations, plan tactical guidelines and develop practical solutions which focus on concrete technologies and digital user experiences.
You'll get to work with the subject through dialogue-based teaching, project-orientated group work and individual assignments. We prioritise having continuous cooperation with relevant companies and organisations who contribute with concrete cases, experience, and knowledge.
Do you want to be a UX designer?
You will get competencies within digital technologies, digital design, digital user experience, and digital communication. You will get knowledge and tools that qualify you for a job within digital product and service development - and enable you to work with AI tools in a professional context.
You will be qualified to work in companies where the running, development and further improvement of digital commerce, digital communication, and design concepts and interactive digital solutions are all in focus. You can be employed, for example, as a UX designer, concept developer of digital solutions, or a web designer.
Go abroad as part of your degree
You can choose to join a summer school, do an exchange semester or do your internship abroad as part of the programme.
Programme
The programme consists of three semesters. During the third semester, you specialise further through your internship and your bachelor’s project. Based on the internship and the bachelor project, you can create the academic profile that you want to be your competitive edge in a future job.
Internship
For your internship, you will join a relevant company or organisation of your own choice where you will take part in the daily routines and projects. You will be in a professional, technical environment, and the theoretical and hands-on experience you have learnt from the programme will need to be utilised when you have to attend to specific assignments. The internship takes place immediately before the final examination project.
Final examination project
Most students use their internship for the final examination project. You must specialise in a defined area within digital concept development through your project work.

In the internship, you can test a specific field of work and then focus your programme in relation to your career plans.
