Annotation

Design and development of intelligent software systems and interfaces have become increasingly important with the pervasiveness of mobile devices and ubiquitous technologies. In the English-language Human-Computer Interaction Master of Science programme, students focus on theoretical and practical issues in current Computer Science research in interface design and interactive system development. As a consecutive programme teaching HCI at an advanced technical level, it requires students to have a solid background in computing-related subjects.
