Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, fuelled by powerful computational advances and vast data availability. Generative AI has given rise to groundbreaking systems that can create novel content, such as images, videos, and text. This revolution requires a similar innovation in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). As AI technologies become more pervasive and integrated in various application areas, individuals skilled in both technical aspects of AI and human-centred design principles of HCI are increasingly sought after.
A recent report by Microsoft highlights that three of the most in-demand skills across industries are AI, UX Design, and Cloud Computing - all key competencies at the heart of Brunel's MSc Human-AI Interaction. You will develop a critical understanding of the state-of-the-art in AI and HCI concepts and you will be equipped with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to design and implement next generation human-centric AI solutions. Specifically, you will gain knowledge and practical experience in various intelligent techniques, human-computer/human-AI interaction, human-centred design, user experience, data visualisation, interactive development for AI, and ethics and governance. In addition, you will have the opportunity to develop a broader set of skills including study skills, research skills, employment skills and capability skills through teamwork, guest lectures or workshops from industry leaders, and dissertation projects.
Through hands-on experience with industry-standard software (e.g., Figma, Axure RP), essential programming languages (e.g., Python), and AI development pipelines, you’ll be well-prepared to build impactful, human-centred AI solutions. To ensure all students feel confident with programming, an optional introductory module to Python is available. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to pursue an extra-curricular certification on a leading Cloud platform (e.g., Microsoft Azure), equipping you with an essential, in-demand industry skill. The department’s expertise, coupled with the programme’s focus on AI and human-centred design, uniquely prepare our graduates to develop AI systems that are intuitive, impactful, and meet real-world demands.
