Human-Centred Interactive Technologies
The MSc in Human-Centred Interactive Technologies aims to provide participants with a thorough grounding in the design and evaluation of interactive technologies of all kinds, from the perspective of the human user(s). It is aimed at graduates with a first degree in a computing discipline who wish to develop knowledge and skills in this area before undertaking industrial work or further academic study in this area. Appropriate recent experience may also qualify you for the course, if you do not have an appropriate computing degree.
The unique emphasis of the MSc in Human-Centred Interactive Technologies course is on developing an understanding of users capabilities and requirements, including users with particular requirements (such as older and disabled users, or users in a diversity of cultural settings) and developing a range of techniques to work with these users to produce interactive technologies that best suit their capabilities and requirements.
Four EPSRC studentships are available for 2008/2009
The course aims to:
* to provide a specialist education in the theories of and methods for designing and evaluating interactive technologies
* to provide a specialist education in the range of current research and practical topics of designing and evaluating interactive technologies
* to provide practical experience (through practical work and the project) of designing and evaluating interactive technologies
