About this program
Modern technology is integrated into our daily lives more than ever. None of the advanced technologies we use today would have been successful if humans failed to interact with them, or when technology misinterprets the behaviour of the user. Human-computer interaction is one of the most important considerations in technological development. So, how can you include the user? In this Master’s, you will learn to design intelligent, interactive, and socially aware systems that align with end-user needs and enhance user experience.
With many courses to choose from within domains of technology, social sciences, design, research, entrepreneurship, and more, you can create your own profile. You can even go for a double degree and spend one year abroad! Now that smart innovations are rapidly unfolding, there’s a growing demand for experts who can truly embody the view of the user. You can look forward to great career opportunities after graduation, as a designer, researcher, or entrepreneur.
