The English-taught Human-Computer Interaction Master's programme begins in the winter as well as in the summer semester.
Prospective students who have obtained their first university degree outside the European Union (EU), must apply via: www.uni-assist.de.
Applicants who graduated within the European Union (EU) and do not require a visa apply online at: Online-Application.
Admission requires a Bachelor of Science degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science or a related field with a strong focus on computer science and HCI. If the converted credit-weighted average grade of your Bachelor's degree is at least 2.0 in the German system, your chances of acceptance are very good.
Applications have to include a motivation letter of 2 to 4 pages length, explaining the specific motivation for doing an HCI degree, and an overview of educational or work experience, in particular regarding projects, internships, extracurricular activities or research activity with relevance for HCI. Wherever possible, these activities should be documented.
