Overview
The EIT Digital Master School’s degree Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) is an interdisciplinary programme where our User-Centred Design approach places the users at the centre of the design process. By combining human aspects (both at a cognitive, aesthetic and sensory-motor levels) to technological and business aspects, we create new products and services with great usability and user experience, and a solid customer demand, which often translate into commercial success.
HCID serves as the bridge to new products and services. Students learn how to design and define how people interact and live with the modern ever-changing technical world.
What are the career opportunities for graduates from the programme?
Graduates from the Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) at EIT Digital Master School will qualify for jobs in international and local organizations in both technical and business roles. Typical titles are:
- interaction designer or user experience designer,
- interactive systems engineer,
- human factors expert,
- usability engineer,
- business developer,
- product manager, or consultant.
Through their multidisciplinary attitude graduates are valuable in open innovation settings where different aspects (market, users, social aspects, media technologies) come together. They will easily find jobs within companies that provide value-added products and services, such as telecom companies, game companies, e-learning, web developers, and entertainment. An alternative path would be to start your own company to provide product or technology development, media content, business development or consultancy services.
