The Master in Human-Computer Interaction is a research-driven master study program designed for graduates and professionals who seek to explore, analyze, and innovate at the intersection of people and technology. Positioned at a study level equal to EQF Level 7 and aligned with the second European cycle, the program carries an academic workload equal to 60 ECTS and can typically be completed in +12 months, with flexible progression options for learners who wish to extend their studies.

This master study program is 100% research based, enabling participants to engage deeply with theoretical foundations, methodological frameworks, and emerging challenges in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The program is structured into five modules:

  • Two research-focused modules that develop advanced skills in research design, qualitative and quantitative methodologies, academic writing, and critical analysis.

  • Two general modules that strengthen interdisciplinary thinking, innovation strategy, and academic scholarship at master level.

  • One specialized HCI module dedicated to core concepts such as user experience (UX), usability engineering, interaction design, cognitive ergonomics, accessibility, human-centered AI, and digital product evaluation.

  • In addition, learners complete a thesis and structured research activities that contribute to academic and professional knowledge in the field.

Human-Computer Interaction is a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline that integrates computer science, psychology, design, data science, and social sciences. This program equips participants with the ability to investigate how humans interact with digital systems, evaluate user behavior, design intuitive interfaces, and develop research-based solutions that enhance usability, inclusivity, and technological effectiveness.

Participants explore themes such as:

  • Human-centered design principles

  • Usability testing and evaluation methods

  • Interaction design frameworks

  • Cognitive and behavioral aspects of digital environments

  • Emerging technologies including AI-driven interfaces, immersive systems, and adaptive platforms

  • Ethical and societal implications of digital systems

Through rigorous research engagement, this program prepares learners to contribute to academic research, digital innovation, product strategy, policy development, and advanced professional roles where understanding the relationship between humans and technology is critical.

The Master in Human-Computer Interaction is particularly suitable for individuals with backgrounds in computer science, information systems, psychology, design, engineering, business, or related fields who wish to advance into research-oriented, analytical, and innovation-driven careers in technology and digital environments.
