MA/MS in Human-Computer Interaction

Human-Computer Interaction is a two-year master's programme taught entirely in English by the School of Digital Technologies at Tallinn University. It is worth 120 ECTS and carries international accreditation. Students examine how people perceive, think about and respond emotionally to digital systems, and then use that knowledge to design interactive products that are usable and meaningful. Teaching draws on computing, design and cognitive psychology. A design project that fills a whole semester has students working in teams to conceptualise, prototype and test a real interactive solution. Elective courses allow a focus on ubiquitous and affective computing, user research, or interaction driven by physiological signals. Classes take place in the afternoons and evenings of weekdays, which suits people who hold jobs alongside their studies. Tuition is charged per semester, with one rate for citizens of the EU and EEA and a higher rate for citizens of other countries.
