Aims and structure

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.

The MSc in Interaction Design (www.idmaster.eu) is offered by the Cyprus University of Technology (Cyprus) and Tallinn University (Estonia) bringing together an impressive experience and knowledge in Interaction Design, Human Computer Interaction Design and Online Learning.

The course is offered fully online in English and its current cohort is multi-disciplinary and international coming from more than 25 different countries.

Career options

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.

Specifically, graduates will have the following skills:

  • knowledge about the techniques necessary for the design and development of easy to use, appealing and thoroughly designed software and systems
  • understanding  how digital media, as products and services, relate to existing social, cultural, economic and technological systems

  • capacity to follow established professional, ethical and intellectual property protection principles
  • ability to undertake internationally recognised research and continue studies at PhD level

Priorities in Focus

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.
