Overview

Key Features

The Usability Engineering programme offered by Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is a three-semester master´s degree programme.

Successful, innovative products have to be tailored to business and individual users' needs. They have to meet their high demand for quality and efficiency and must adapt to ever changing work conditions, tasks or workflows. Accordingly, companies are seeking well and interdisciplinary trained specialists who are able to make strategic use of their knowledge during the entire development and design process.

Career prospects

By putting a special emphasis on innovative problem solving methods considering interdisciplinary and international approaches, our degree programme aims to equip you for a career that matches future labour market needs and trends.

Complementing the individual skills you have gained in your bachelor´s degree, our master´s degree will strengthen your employability in all areas in which interactive systems are designed and developed. Your employment will be beneficial wherever products are required for the use by people.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

All courses are designed to offer you enhancement and consolidation of knowledge through lectures and tuition in seminars. Practical trainings and applications on real-world projects are integral parts of every module as they will help you to advance your key qualifications and gain additional personal and social skills. You will develop substantial skills in areas of human factors, psychology and intercultural management as well as in fields of usability analysis techniques, visualisation and advanced human-computer interaction. At the same time you will get familiar with international standards and learn how to apply them in your future professional and scientific career.
In your third semester you will develop your master´s thesis in cooperation with a professor at the University and a company, if possible. Again a high academic standard as well as the availability for use in practice are of major importance.
