Curriculum HCI

Curriculum HCI from intake 2019/20
Curriculum HCI from intake 2019/20

For the concrete choices of courses on offer for the Modules in the graphic above, see the list below. For the Specialisation Module, students can pick an additional course out of the choices from all 4 modules within the areas 'HCI Fundamentals' and 'HCI Theory'. The Master theses can be supervised in collaboration with academic staff from other disciplines at the University.

Below you see a quick pop-up overview of which courses belong to which module. For detailed information on each course, you find the module catalogue (extended module descriptions) as well as the actual course descriptions in our » Module catalogue 

Course choices for the Modules

Psychology

  • Usability Engineering + Testing (bi-annual)
  • Physiological Computing (bi-annual)

(note: these two classes are offered in alternation, each Summer Semester, so every year there is one course for this Module) 

  • Human Factors: Perception & Cognition (offered in WS 24/25). This course is shared between 5th semester Bachelor (Media Informatics) and the HCI Master. This will be a test run, to see if this works out. 

HCI Concepts & Methods

  • HCI Theory and Methods (bi-annual)
  • Ubiquitous Computing (bi-annual)   
    (note: these two are offered in alternation, in Winter Semester, so every year there is one course for this module on offer) 

Visual Interfaces

  • Virtual Reality (WS) 
  • Visualization (SS)

Computer Vision

  • Image Analysis (SS)
  • GIS (WS)
  • Photogrammatic Computer Vision (can be brought in on request to the examination committee)
  • Deep Learning for Computer Vision (offered SS'24)

Specialisation (HCI/Tech)

Specialisation (HCI/Tech)

You can take (or must take) one of the courses listed under
- Psychology, - HCI Concepts and Methods, - Visual Interfaces or - Computer Vision,
which you have not utilized for any of these modules or for your Electives. Depending on which of the modules you take this from, it will be counted either towards Specialisation HCI or Specialisation Tech. 

In addition, the examination committee may pick additional courses that can be utilized for the Specialisation module. These are listed here:  

  • Computational Social Science (Prof. Jakesch) run in WS 24/25 (counts as Specialisation Tech) 

Design Theory

Design Theory =  "Digital Cultures - An Introduction for the Design Professions" (lecture + practical) offered from the Faculty of Arts & Design by Prof. Jan Willmann.  

Design Theory I runs in Winter Semester and Design Theory II in Summer Semester. Any of these can be used towards this module. 

Electives

The 24 ECTS can be accumulated out of (allowed) courses of any size. Allowed Electives are:

  • additional courses on offer from the Master in HCI as well as the Master in Computer Science For Digital Media that have not been utilized yet for other modules, including seminars
  • courses from other study degrees at BUW, this includes courses and projects from product design, media arts/design, media studies, media management, civil engineering, as well as architecture and urbanistics  (excluding bachelor courses in Computer Science/Informatik!) 
  • language courses (English + German, up to 7 ECTS)
  • in particular, it is possible to bring in one additional project with relation to HCI (from anywhere in the University) 
  • on request, interdisciplinary courses e.g. from the University of Jena or Erfurt may be taken.
