PURPOSE
That the student can independently, systematically and critically
through the application of scientific theory and method formulate,
analyze and contribute to the solution of a current research
problem within Interaction Design
University degrees are research-based degrees; all students must gain in-depth insight into the current research problem and methods in the master's program, so that this insight can be applied in solving problems within research
Learning objectives

- document in-depth knowledge of and overview of a current problem within research in interaction design and its possible solutions
Skills
- reason about and with the concepts and techniques concerned
- apply and create theories within the subject area in connection with the formulation of and analysis and solution of a problem within research in interaction design
- convey a current issue in interaction design, a contribution to its solution and the associated conceptual framework within the framework of the research area
Competences
- apply the concepts and reasoning within the subject area to formulate, analyze and contribute to the solution of a problem within a current issue within research in interaction design
