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 technical-scientific 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.

Wherever possible, these activities should be documented.
