Students enrolled for HCID take a 60 EC course programme in Interaction Technology, which is completed to a full 120 EC course programme at one of the other participating institutions. Students take a double degree, at completion one of their diplomas is the I-Tech diploma. Whereas Interaction Technology follows a structure using pillars, the HCID variant does not make use of that. HCID students have a different structure to focus on:
- First-year HCID students in I-Tech take a 60 EC programme in I-Tech as outlined under Entry year. These students continue with a second-year specialization at KTH, UniTN, Aalto University, or UPM.
- Second-year HCID students have completed 60 EC (a first year) equivalent to that of I-Tech at Aalto University, University of Trento, KTH, UPM or Polimi before they start their 60 EC programme in I-Tech as outlined under Exit year.
Some disclaimers:
- Take 15 EC in each block.
- HCID students who have already taken an introductory course on Innovation & Entrepreneurship in their bachelor can take a different course than I&E Basics: either International Entrepreneurship - A Strategic Technology Perspective or Brand Management, both available in quartile 1A.
- The I-Tech project lasts a whole semester.
A choice of courses becomes a course programme once it has been approved and signed by the programme mentor (m.theune@utwente.nl). The programme mentor has the authority to refuse approval even if the choice of units is within the limitations of the requirements listed.
