Career Profile

Graduates are sought-after experts in the design and development of innovative digital systems. They have excellent knowledge in the areas of user experience (UX), human-computer interaction (HCI) and interaction technologies such as mixed/virtual reality (MR/VR) and voice computing. You will not only have acquired creative knowledge in the fields of interaction design, information visualisation and multimodal interfaces, but will also be familiar with the technical basics of the necessary sensor technology, signal processing and machine learning. In this role as an expert in human-technology systems, you will have mastered many areas that are of interest for the successful development of user-centred digital products and services. You will therefore be able to build and lead interdisciplinary teams.
