Human-Computer Interaction - Specialization

 

Specialization: Human-Computer Interaction

"Human-Computer Interaction" is focused in general on agile prototyping of novel types of interfaces supporting the interaction between people and software, based on human centred design and the overall user experience, and with elements of cognitive modeling. This may more specifically, but is not limited to, be focused towards applications in digital and mobile health, or it may involve individuals applying empirical methods and active/passive sensing, allowing them to observe phenomena of personal relevance with the aim to explore personal questions, to reason and learn from personal data with consequential benefits for daily living, quality of life, and well-being.

To fulfill the requirements for the specialization, the student must follow the requirements in the general curriculum for the programme such that at least 35 ECTS points are obtained among the recommended courses below.

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
