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:

My favourite part of the course was the Physical Prototyping module. For the first time, I learned how to program with sensors and explore user experience from a completely new perspective—one that is physical, interactive, and deeply tied to human emotions and behaviours.
