Usability Engineering

Why choose Usability Engineering? Aren't we all familiar with those situations when devices or software applications leave us annoyed because they are far more difficult to use than they should be? Luckily, times are changing. Industry is well aware of the fact that the success of their products depends now more than ever on user friendliness. There even is a catchphrase for products that work better for their users: usability. Successful, innovative products have to be tailored to the needs of businesses and users. They have to meet their stringent demands for quality and efficiency and must adapt to ever changing work conditions, tasks and work-flows. Developing these kinds of complex products requires specialists with diverse, interdisciplinary skills who can strategically contribute to every step of the development and design process. Our Master's degree programme is taught in English and imparts precisely that type of skill set; one which is highly prized in industry and academia as it relies not only on strategic and methodical knowledge but also equips you with the practical skills to implement your ideas across a broad range of applications. A very important part of your studies is therefore based on understanding and using interdisciplinary approaches. Career Prospects By putting a special emphasis on innovative problem-solving methods and incorporating interdisciplinary and international approaches, our degree programme aims to equip you for a career that matches present and future labour market needs and trends. Complementing the individual skills you have gained in your undergraduate degree, our Master's degree will strengthen your employability in all areas in which interactive systems are designed and developed. In short, you will be a sought-after expert wherever products are designed for hands-on use by people.
