    • MSc Interaction Design is an online degree offered by the Cyprus University of Technology & Tallinn University in English.

      The MSc in Interaction Design is a full-time and part-time postgraduate programme that equips its graduates with marketable skills in design, technology, and theory as related to the domain of Interaction Design, User Experience and Human-Computer

      MSc Interaction Design

      From Cyprus and Estonia

      The MSc in Interaction Design is offered by two Universities bringing together an impressive experience and knowledge in Interaction Design, Human Computer Interaction Design and Online Learning.

      Designed to run online

      The course is offered fully online in English. The course provides access to Google’s online learning suite for students internationally.

      Available full & part-time

      The course is flexible to your varying needs and other life commitments. Therefore it is offered full-time and part-time and you can switch between the two or postpone throughout the course.

      Emphasis on practice-based teaching

      All course modules are provided with an emphasis on practice-based learning through research, design and implementation of different individual and collaborative projects.

      The Course

      There is a continuous demand for passionate, creative experts, especially in the fields of Interaction Design, User Experience and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The program equips its graduates with immediate marketable skills in design, technology, and theory as related to the domain of Interaction Design, User Experience and Human-Computer Interaction.

      Interaction Design shapes the experiences of people as they interact with products in order to achieve their goals and objectives. Interaction designers define product behaviour, mediating relationships between people and people, people and products, people and environments, and people and services across a variety of social, cultural and technological contexts.

      Our graduates can pursue careers as Content Strategists, Creative Directors, Creative Technologists, Design Strategists, Developers (front-end or back-end), Information Architects, Interaction Designers,  Mobile Designers, Service Designers, Usability Specialists, User Interface Designers and many more.

      Our graduates have excelled as entrepreneurs and have been prepared for self-employability through successful pitching and presentation of their ideas and work to professional and public bodies as well as pursued suitable funding opportunities.

      EU Digital Agenda

      This course differentiates itself from other Interaction Design and HCI programs by addressing worldwide and European Union’s priorities as highlighted by the EU’s Digital Agenda.These are:

      • e-Inclusion, as reflected by the European Commission’s view on the role of eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion domains in sustainable human development
      • e-Accessibility, which targets the removal of the barriers encountered when trying to access and use digital media products, services and applications
      • e-Services, which reflect the recognition of information technology as a powerful tool for accelerating economic development, whose benefits include accessing a greater user base, broadening reach, lowering of entry barrier to new domains and cost of acquiring new audience, alternative communication channel, increasing services to enhancing awareness and perception, gaining competitive advantages and potential for leveraging knowledge.
