One-year EPSRC Studentships - MRes Design and Evaluation of Advanced Interactive Systems
A small number of EPSRC quota studentships (stipend: £10,500; one-year, full-time only) have recently become available for this novel, interdisciplinary Masters programme. We are seeking graduates who have, as a minimum, a 2(i) honours degree or equivalent in Computing, Psychology or another relevant discipline. EPSRC fees-only funding is also available for outstanding candidates from EU countries.
The course has the following features:
* An integrated curriculum that brings together strengths in social science, psychology and computing to address core topics in designing and evaluating interfaces, from empirical studies of human-system interaction to technological advances in interactive systems;
* A unique collaborative design project module, where students work together designing for an audience of industrial and academic end-users;
* Dissertation projects undertaken at collaborating end-user sites under academic supervision;
* An exciting and internationally-renowned environment for advanced interactive environment research.
