Computers and digitalization have a huge impact on everyone and on society as a whole. Are you interested in participating in research that drives and directs the course of this evolution? Consider applying for a doctoral studentship in Human-Computer Interaction after your master's degree!
In the interdisciplinary graduate school Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) you study and research the interaction between humans and computers to better understand, evaluate, and improve computerized technical systems for human use. As a doctoral student, you extend the knowledge about current problems and areas of use in human-computer interaction. You will learn methods and tools for the development of customized computer system functions and to better understand, evaluate and improve computerized technical systems for human use. You will also learn about theory and methodology in the humanities, behavioral and social sciences.
