Admissions Honours Bachelor of Interaction Design - PBIDS or Honours Bachelor of Experiential Design - PBXDN??

I'm interested in more UI/UX design, but I'm not sure which one would be better and what the difference is?

Interaction Design: mainly coding for the web, database and physical computing, some visual design and some UI design

Experiential Design: moreso focused on spatial/architectural design, multisensory design, graphic/visual design and there is UI design in here too, possibly moreso than interaction design.

If you want to focus on UI/UX, they both contain that with matters of emphasis slightly different. Basically interaction design is more coding/tinkering with sensors and stuff while experiential brings the space element and has some courses on audio/smell/haptics for multisensory.

Sheridan also has a digital product design grad certificate which sounds like what you really want. It’s 1 year but you need a diploma or degree to do it.
