Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID)

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.

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.
