Studying at EPD obviously means that you study persuasion - but the angles may differ greatly. Some focus on theoretical, some on applied aspects of PersusasiveDesign. Some choose to explore the boundries between Persuasive Design and areas such as Artificiel Intelligence, Emotional Design, Robotics, or therapy.
