In this Human - Computer Interaction programme at Uppsala University you will learn:
- methods, tools, and principles for the design of IT interfaces, artefacts and services.
- to study people when they use information technology, understand how they feel about it, and how they appropriate it for their own purposes.
- theory, so that you are able to understand why some interfaces work and others don’t – and why the situation may be exactly the reverse in a different situation or with a different group of people.
- to design in teams, together with people with varying backgrounds, skills, and goals. Most importantly, you will learn how to involve the very people who will be using your design, to reflect on the development of IT products and services from a psychological and sociological perspective.
- to investigate and understand ethical and sustainability issues in IT design.
