The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) specialisation deals with the user-friendly design of interactive systems and their human-machine interfaces. The lectures in this specialisation provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the design, implementation and evaluation of future interactive systems. The specialisation combines basic knowledge of usability and the design of human-technology interaction with practical skills in the development of specific interactive systems in practical tasks and project groups. The specialisation gives students an insight into the central issues of the usable realisation and evaluation of interactive systems. The specialisation also covers advanced topics in human-technology interaction and current trends in research and development.

Programme requirements

The following three modules must be successfully completed for certification of this specialisation:

• inf174 Internship Special Topics in Media Computing Science I , e.g., AR/VR Lab or Wearable Computing Lab, PR, WiSe (Practical Computing Science)or inf175 Internship Special Topics in Media Computing Science II , e.g., Maker's Lab, PR, SoSe (Practical Computing Science).
• Human-Computer Interaction (inf100), VL and PR, summer semester (Practical Computing Science)
• Advanced Topics in Human-Computer Interaction (inf131), VL and PR, WiSe (Practical Computing Science)

The Master's thesis and the project group should be thematically related to human-computer interaction.

In addition, modules totalling a further 12 CP must be successfully completed as an accent choice or as an NI choice from the following list:
