[IxDA Discuss] Primarily for UK-based list members

[Alexander Baxevanis]

Hi Lee,

the following courses are all I know of:

MSc in Human-Computer Interaction & Ergonomics, UCL
http://www.uclic.ucl.ac.uk/courses/modules.html

MSc in Human-Centred Systems, City University
http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/pgcourses/hcs/index.html

MA/MSc Design for Interactive Media, Middlesex University
http://lansdown.mdx.ac.uk/lceaSite/programmes/dim.html

MSc Interaction Design, Middlesex University
http://www.mdx.ac.uk/pgdesign/msc%20interaction%20design/011w292.asp

MA Interactive Media, University of the Arts London, London College of
Communication
http://maimm.arts.ac.uk/

MA Design Interactions, Royal College of Art
http://www.rca.ac.uk/pages/study/ma_interaction_design_171.html

MA Design Interaction, University of Westminster
http://www.wmin.ac.uk/mad/page-183

As you can probably see after having a look at the above websites,
there are big differences between the focus areas of each course. It's
up to you to decide which would be a good fit for your background and
career aspirations.

Last year I did the MSc in HCI at UCL, I was quite satisfied with it
and would be happy to discuss any details with you.

Good luck,

Alex
