Gain the expertise to create, design and develop engaging interactive digital technologies from apps to immersive environments.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a cross-disciplinary practice in computing.
It combines understanding people (drawing on social sciences and psychology) with the design of technology (using practices from art/design, computing and engineering).
Throughout the Human-Computer Interaction Master's you'll learn the principles of human-centred design and user experience, aiming to design better products for human experiences. You'll also build an understanding of how using digital technologies can impact people at an individual, group or societal level.
We accept applications to our Human-Computer Interaction Master's from both technical and non-technical backgrounds. While we particularly welcome applicants with backgrounds in computer science, design, and psychology, the programme is designed to be accessible to applicants from a wide range of academic disciplines and industries.
You’ll gain the professional and technical skills to work in careers including:
- user experience (UX) research
- design
- consultancy
This Master's degree is taught by staff from a world-leading HCI research lab within the School of Computing called Open Lab.
Open Lab specialises in digital social innovation. This is sometimes known as ‘Tech 4 Good’. Open Lab and the wider School of Computing build on a vast range of research partnerships across both industry and public sector organisations including:
- BBC
- Microsoft
- Mozilla
- Unicef
- the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
- National Health Service (NHS)
- Coram Life Education
- numerous other charities and NGOs
These organisations offer rich opportunities for enhancing your learning through:
- invited talks
- collaborative dissertation projects
- career-building activities
We are a hub of digital innovation. You'll benefit from our:
- leadership of the National Edge AI Hub, next-generation innovations via edge computing
- recognition as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security, supported by the National Cyber Security Centre and the EPSRC
- direct link with the UK's National Innovation Centre for Data
- partnership with The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI
