In a digital society, there's a growing demand for those who can think beyond the technical possibilities to consider the human side of ubiquitous computing. Human-Computer Interaction MSc aims to address this, developing your knowledge and skills to evaluate, design and critique technology and its effects on people and society. Designed for those who may not have a computer science background, this course provides you with both theoretical grounding and practical skills to become a successful human-computer interaction (HCI) practitioner. You'll explore the principles of HCI while engaging with issues such as ethical computing, AI as a design material, and multi-modal interfaces. You'll develop technical expertise in areas including usability testing, programming, and user-centred design, supported by research-rich teaching from staff active in the field. Learning is practice-focused and mirrors real-world challenges, encouraging you to think critically and collaborate effectively. With access to modern facilities and online resources, you'll be prepared with industry-informed skills, to engage with emerging technologies and contribute to the design of inclusive, accessible, and innovative digital experiences.
