MSc in Human Centred Systems
========================
Centre for HCI Design, City University, London
The Centre for HCI Design at City University, London is advertising its
MSc in Human Centred Systems.
The Centre for HCI Design is a specialist research centre at City
University, with 5 academic staff who teach our MSc students, and over
20 research staff and students who provide support for this teaching. It
resides in new office space constructed to meet the Centre's needs and
includes bespoke space for student work, and a new, state-of-the-art
75m2 interaction lab supported by Vodafone that is available for use by
all of our MSc students.
The Centre specialises in research in Human-Computer Interaction and
Software
Engineering. We undertake fundamental long-term research, funded largely
by the EPSRC and EU, alongside more applied research in collaboration
with organisations including IDEO, the Disability Rights Commission and
National Air Traffic Services. It researches holistic system design
methods, usability evaluation, tools and methods for interactive system
design, assistive technologies and designing for diverse users, culture
and creativity in design, e-Learning, and requirements engineering for
socio-technical systems.
Students taking this course will be equipped with theory and techniques
from computer science, software engineering, cognitive science and
psychology for the design, implementation and evaluation of computing
systems that take the user into consideration.
Upon completing this course you will have excellent skills in designing
and evaluating software computing systems. Skills will range from
advanced human-computer interaction design skills, requirement analysis
and design, skills in designing and conducting complex evaluations of
new or existing software computing systems and unique expertise in
designing and evaluating systems for people with disabilities and the
elderly.
Course outline: a full-time, 1 year or 2 year part-time MSc consisting
of a number of taught modules including courses on Human-Computer
Interaction Design, Requirements Engineering, Systems Specification,
Professional and Research Skills, Inclusive Design, Multimedia, Advanced
Human-Computer Interaction, and Evaluation of Systems. Every student
will also undertake an individual research project in the form of a
thesis. Internships with leading HCI organisations in London will also
be made available.
Course requirements: The usual minimum entrance requirement is a good
second class honours degree from a UK university in a numerate
discipline, a recognised equivalent from an accredited overseas
institution or an equivalent professional qualification. For students
whose first language is not English, an IELTS score of 6.5 or TOEFL
score of 600 (250 computer-based version) is required.
