Overview
Human Computer Interaction MSc sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Human Computer Interaction is coursework heavy, with lab time and a substantial project in the final stage. We currently work with 32 universities on this course across 25 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £17.500 to £37.500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Send us your transcript and we will tell you honestly which of these you are a realistic candidate for, and which are worth an application anyway.
