The Designing for People (DFP) Graduate Specialization



Announcing: The Designing for People (DFP) Graduate Specialization

This is a new opportunity at UBC for students interested in the human-centred design of systems, human-computer interaction, interaction design, or related areas. The DFP specialization can be carried out as part of your iSchool MLIS, MAS or PhD degree, and includes a dedicated project course, numerous enrichment opportunities and a research thesis supervised by a DFP-affiliated faculty member. Graduate students and faculty from across UBC participate in the DFP program.

The DFP is currently seeking applications from interested graduate students at the iSchool.  For more information, see the DFP website and contact Luanne Freund or  one of the other DFP-affiliated faculty at the iSchool: Eric MeyersLisa NathanJulia Bullard or Heather O’Brien.  In some cases, DFP funding may be available for participating students.
MLIS Students interested in human computer interaction, who do not wish to do a research thesis, are encouraged to speak with their Faculty Advisors about the Information Interaction and Design pathway, which is intended to help students focus their studies in this area.
Learn more about our iSchool pathways or the DFP specialization on our Specializations page.
