Overview
From our mobile phones to our watches, televisions, and even our cars – smart technology has become a staple in our everyday lives. And with the further development of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, our relationship with technology will only continue to increase.
But like any relationship, our relationships with technology requires clear communication – which is where Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) comes in.
By developing intuitive user interfaces and easy-to-use interactive systems, HCID facilitates how we ‘talk’ to our smart devices. With the Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) programme from EIT Digital Master School, you’ll have the skills – and confidence – you need to design the systems that define this interaction.
What you will gain
We use a combination of face-to-face workshops, group activities, and hands-on exercises to cover everything from HCID basics to the job-specific skills demanded by:
- User experience (UX) and interaction designers
- UX architects
- Usability engineers
- Interactive systems engineers
- Human factor experts
- Business development managers
- Product managers
- Consultants
To enhance the learning experience, the programme includes an opportunity to apply your new skills and knowledge towards creating new products and services based on exceptional usability.
Unlock new career opportunities
Careers in HCID are simply exploding. You will leave this programme having the training and skills needed to unlock a range of career opportunities. Our HCID graduates can be found working in open innovation settings and leading technology companies. Some have even gone on to launch their own successful start-ups and consultancies.
