User Experience Design

"I didn’t just choose UXD — I chose to design with feeling. This program turns curiosity into concepts and emotions into meaningful interactions. With inspiring teachers, open-minded classmates and hands-on projects, I’ve found the perfect place to create with purpose. The best part? Seeing someone react to something I designed — that’s the magic."

"UXD felt like the perfect blend of everything I loved — creativity, psychology, and technology. What I love most is how hands-on the programme is: one day you're prototyping, the next you're experimenting in the Makerspace. The teachers are incredibly supportive and the international vibe makes it easy to feel at home. You learn by doing, and quickly grow confident in solving real-world problems. I’ve worked with real clients, joined student organisations, and found my own creative voice. If you're curious, open-minded, and ready to grow — this is the place to be."

If you're looking for a program where your ideas matter, where you're guided every step of the way, and where you work with real clients on real challenges — UXD is for you. What I love most? No two days are alike. You research, design, test with users, and build things that truly make a difference. Every day confirms I chose the right path.

"I am a student of the User Experience Design Programme at the Hague University of Applied Sciences and I have been really impressed by this study. The curriculum is practical and up to date with current world situations, teachers are the best I could ever ask for, and the emphasis on teamwork has been great for developing my skills. This school also brings you a lot of opportunities to show your potential and do whatever you are good in."

"I did my masters on interaction design in the context of industrial design and media art. Interaction for me is not just about controlling interfaces but about experiencing relationships. As an international student myself, what I mostly enjoy about UXD is creating space for people to experiment, transform, become someone else than who they were at home. I teach courses where we get playfully critical and creatively questioning of the role of design in society. I do research with the Philosophy & Professional Practice research group and I also work as a freelance designer. "

"Hello, I’m Dany! UX Design lecturer, study coach and musician. My study background is Industrial Design Engineering, a track which paired my passion for human connections and practical creativity. My mission as a teacher is to create a relaxed atmosphere where students dare to explore their capabilities to find their voice as designers and professionals. Sharing this process with fellow innovators is the most effective way forward, and that is what we are all about at UX Design. Join us, let’s shape the future together!"

"Most of the time, I feel like I learn just as much from students as they learn from me. Being educated as a logician and philosopher allows me to bring a whole different perspective to the field of UX Design and leaves me open for varying views on the field of design. That’s what I love most about the program, being open for all viewpoints. Sometimes confusion teaches us more than certainty, so come and learn with us."

"As a research-based designer, I will give you the insight that research can be a lot of fun. Hopefully I can motivate and inspire you to go into depth in different ways to get the best out of the user. Ultimately, you design experiences. The user is the expert of his or her experiences. It's up to you to figure them out and apply them to your own design. Through the lectureship Inclusive Education, I am committed to the Caribbean Dutch students at this college."

"I teach design and research courses and teach you how to make designs that really fit the people you design for. In this study, you combine your creativity, social side and interests with all things digital. In my classes, there is plenty of room to inspire each other and learn from each other. We do this by working together, experimenting and giving each other feedback. This way, you will soon be well prepared to start working as a professional!"

"Ik ben ontwerper, beroepsnerd en mensenmens. Als afgestudeerd architect deed ik jarenlang ervaring op bij een middelgrote ontwerpstudio in Rotterdam. Na een tijd heb ik de overstap gemaakt naar het onderwijs. Ik geniet elke dag van het contact met studenten en mijn bevlogen collega docenten. Ik ben van mening dat er geen mooier beroep bestaat dan dit. Mijn belangrijkste drijfveer is plezier en dat probeer ik ook in mijn lessen over te brengen."

"What I love about this programme is that students learn to design with meaning. Not only do they create something that works well or is beautiful, but they also think about the impact of their design on humanity and the world. In the projects they work on real issues, such as the influence of technology or more sustainable living in the city. We have many conversations about what ‘good design’ is, which often yields surprising insights. The best moment is when students discover that they can really make a difference and dare to use their own voice as a designer.” 

“What appeals to me in the UXD field, is that decisions must be driven by research and facts. There is no room for assumptions and pride. And working as a UX designer you get to work in any field. My love of sports made me apply for an internship and, later on, a job at Tonsser. This platform allows young footballers to build a reputation based on statistics, performance and videos. I’m proud to help change players lives for the better through the use of technology and data.”

“All the students in my year were international and it was such an exciting new step for all of us. The nice, small size of The Hague really helped me settle in and prepare for my internships in Barcelona and Paris. Having all these experiences in different countries helped me learn about new cultures, and it was also a self-discovery process. And the process continues, as I’m now going to do a Masters in the city of Amsterdam. I just love being a student!”

“In this programme you really learn to be proactive and that’s exactly what you need in the field of UXD. Sometimes, we were really pushed to be resourceful, for instance when finding an internship. Now I understand this ‘tough’ experience was exactly what I needed to prepare for the real world. During my two internships, I learned how to work with clients and put them at ease. And I also had the opportunity to learn what type of company suits me best. Because of this, I now have a job that I love.”
