Taught Courses

UCLIC, and before it the UCL Ergonomics Unit, have been training HCI and human factors professionals for over thirty years. We offer three taught courses in Human‐Computer Interaction with Ergonomics at postgraduate level. Each differs in terms of length and the number of study components:

• Master of Science (MSc) – 8 modules and a Summer research project -Runs for 12 months from September.
• Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) – 8 modules only (same as MSc course) -Runs for 9 months from September.
• Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) – 4 modules out of 8 chosen from the diploma course.

The aim of these courses is to learn, through information, demonstration, exploration and application, a scientific human‐centred approach to the design and evaluation of a wide range of interactive systems and products, and their contexts of use.
The Diploma or the Certificate may suit employed students, as they can provide a route to an HCI qualification with less time away from work.

Furthermore, professionals may not feel it worthwhile doing the Masters project when they are already practitioners. However, it is possible to upgrade from the PGCert to the PGDip or MSc, or from the PGDip to the MSc.

For general information about the modules, eligibility requirements, how to apply and key deadlines look on the Faculty of Brain Sciences pages (a parent department).
