This interdisciplinary MSc introduces the problems, knowledge and practice of Human Computer Interaction and Ergonomics. The programme aims to teach students, through information, demonstration, exploration and application, a scientific human-centred approach to the design and evaluation of a wide range of interactive systems and products, and their contexts of use. What and how will I learn? Students develop an understanding of the theoretical relevance, and application of human physical, cognitive, social and affective knowledge, to the design of interactive systems. They are able to characterise human-computer interaction and user-centred design styles and apply them to software and hardware for interactive system and product design. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of six core courses (90 credits), two optional courses (30 credits) and a research project (60 credits). A Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits, full-time nine months or part-time two years) is offered. Core Modules User-Centred Evaluation Methods Design Practice Ergonomics for Design Applied Cognitive Science Design Experience 1 Design Experience 2 Options Affective Interaction Organisational Informatics Interfaces & Interactivity Dissertationreport All MSc students undertake an independent practical project which culminates in a dissertation of approximately 12,000 words. Further details available on subject website: http:www.ucl.ac.uklifesciences-facultydegree-programmeshuman-computer-interaction-ergonomics The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, practical work, group work, field studies, laboratory projects, and visits to organisations and research establishments. Case studies and other techniques are presented by guest lecturers. Assessment is through practical work, individual coursework, unseen and written examinations and the dissertation. Why should I study this degree at UCL? This MSc is taught through the UCL Interaction Centre, a leading UK Centre of Excellence in Human-Computer Interaction, working collaboratively with industry and the research community and drawing on the best scientific traditions in Computer Science and the Human Sciences. UCLIC, and before it the UCL Ergonomics Unit, have provided training in this field for over thirty years. The programme covers a wide variety of relevant subjects, and students benefit from visits made to organisations and research establishments. The research project allows students to pursue their own interests in Human Computer Interaction, often working with companies on real-world problems. Your future career Graduates are employed by consultancies, government agencies, commercial organisations and commercial research laboratories. Career options include: usability specialist, user-centred design expert, interaction designer, applied ergonomist, user experience expert, information architect, HCI expert and human factors specialist. Entry Requirements Normally a minimum of a lower second-class degree in Computer Science, Psychology or Ergonomics OR a minimum of an upper second-class degree in a Computer Science-, Psychology- or Ergonomics- related field (e.g. interface design, Business IT, Product Design). Account will be taken of any relevant practical or work experience. English: It is mandatory that all prospective students whose first language is not English must provide proof of Good Level of English Proficiency by sending the scores for one of the test shown on the UCL website: http:www.ucl.ac.ukprospective-studentsgraduate-studyapplication-admissionenglish-language.
