Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a cross-disciplinary practice in the field of computing. It combines understanding people (drawing on social sciences and psychology) with the design of technology (using practices from art/design, computing and engineering).

You'll be suitable for this Human-Computer Interaction master's if you’re from technical and non-technical backgrounds, including:

• Computer science, design, and psychology graduates
• Former teachers, artists, and professionals from a range of backgrounds

You’ll gain the professional and technical skills to work in careers such as:

• User experience (UX) researcher / designer / consultant
• Interaction designer
• Usability engineer
• Research (via a PhD)

Throughout the Human-Computer Interaction master's you'll learn the principles of human-centred design and how to design better products for human experiences. You'll also build an understanding of how using digital technologies can impact people at an individual, group or societal level.

Our Biochemistry integrated master's degree studies life at the molecular level. You'll develop an understanding of what causes diseases like cancer and how new technologies and drug treatments can help patients.

You’ll explore the chemical processes that occur in cells of other living organisms, from bacteria to humans. You'll also gain knowledge and skills in molecular biology, biomedical sciences, biotechnology.

You’ll learn how analytical techniques used by the industry – particularly the pharmaceutical or biotech companies – are used to discover or design new drugs or solve environmental problems.

The course includes topics such as:
