- Description/content
- Digital technologies play an important role in all areas of daily life. Modern societies need experts who know exactly how to design and develop usable interactive products. The Master's in User Experience Design (UXD) is an interdisciplinary Master's programme that combines the topics of Computer Science, Design and Usability Research.
In the Master's programme in User Experience Design, you will acquire up-to-date knowledge of interaction design, human factors & ergonomics as well as multimodal and multisensory human-computer interaction. Mobile prototyping and interface solutions for augmented & virtual reality are just as much a part of the programme as design strategy and management or a critical reflection on user experience. In a broader context, you will be enabled to think and write scientifically and will be able to participate in or lead complex projects in an international context.
With our English-language UXD Master's programme, you will be optimally prepared for future tasks in an international media and technology environment.
