Master (MSc) in Human-Computer Interaction

Open University of Cyprus · Nicosia, Cyprus

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) focuses on the interactions between a human user and information technology. With the rapid advances in computing, the types of ICT devices with which we interact, but also the mode of interactions, have increased. Thus, to improve the quality of interaction between users and ICT, modern HCI takes multidisciplinary perspectives, drawing not only from computer science, but also cognitive science as well as human factors engineering. For those with a technical background, obtaining an MSc in HCI offers opportunities for creativity and innovation in a range of contexts (e.g., industry, government, education). Similarly, for those whose background relates to human behaviors (e.g., social or cognitive psychology, cognitive science), pursing the MSc in HCI provides the necessary training and skills to apply their knowledge to practical endeavors related to the design of useful, usable digital technology . The MSc in HCI is a modern educational offering , guided by the policy priority areas at both the National (i.e., Cyprus) and European levels. At the European level, there is current emphasis on digital transformation, with particular attention to the role of artificial intelligence (AI). The European Commission (EC) recognizes that AI can play a key role in addressing many grand challenges facing the world, as expressed in the Agenda 2030 (e.g., climate change, sustainability, reconciling economic development, social equity etc). However, the EC’s vision for AI is one of “Trustworthy AI,” which respects human values and human rights. The human factors involved in designing, implementing, and deploying AI systems are fundamental to the vision of Trustworthy AI. The Coordinated Plan on AI explicitly mentions the need for a generation of scientists and engineers trained in user-centered information systems.
