The MSc in Human Computer Interaction is a one-year taught programme run by the School of Computer Science. Much of the core content is delivered by members of theÊStÊAndrews Human Computer Interaction (SACHI) research group.
The course consists of two semesters of taught components followed by an 11-week project leading to the submission of a 15,000-word dissertation in August.
HighlightsÊ
- The MSc in Human Computer Interaction is a specialist course but retains some flexibility, allowing students to pursue other areas of computer science alongside the compulsory specialist modules.
