You will have a great deal of freedom to put together your own individual study programme, selecting courses that range from technical to human science, in line with your own interest. Some of the courses in basic and advanced level. You will put what you have learned into practice in a series of projects.
GENERAL PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
- Technology courses (minimum four courses worth 20 credits ). E.g. Machine Learning, Image Processing And Computer Vision, Data Science, Natural Language Processing, Ubiquitous Computing, Brain Computer Interfaces, VR/AR Technology, Conversational Agents, etc.
- Courses on Contextual understanding (minimum three courses worth 15 credits). E.g. Affective Computing, Natural Language Processing, Speech Processing, Quantitative Analysis Techniques, Multi-Sensory Design, etc.
- Storytelling courses (minimum two courses worth 10 credits ). E.g. Documentary Practice, Theatrical Presentation, Pitch training, Debating, etc.
Furthermore students need to choose at least three skills courses in Research (minimum one course worth 5 credits), Design (minimum one course worth five credits) and Entrepreneurship (minimum one course worth 5 credits).
Additional courses and electives related to the programme (30 credits left, e.g. all courses already mentioned above but not yet followed, Research Topics, Internship).
The Interaction Technology Master's programme will be concluded with a Graduation Project / Final Assignment (30 credits).
