I see. It's not calles interactive design, but general communication
design, and therein interactive systems as a specialisation. You could
also specialise in editorial, photo, advertising, or sound/video
instead.

IxD or Interface Design courses are very young in Europe, at least in
Germany. But if it's called like that, then it is surely a Design school
which also has a background in industrial and communication design. In
France, this sort of education is being done at the Art schools. 

I think the nordic countries are ahead in special IxD programs, even if
they are not always called like that.
