Bursaries are still available on a competitive basis for UK/EU
students on the MRes in Human-Computer Interaction (formerly Design
and Evaluation of Advanced Interactive Systems), Lancaster University.

This course is a collaborative initiative between the Departments
Computing, Design and Psychology in response to the increasing
prominence of digital information in society and radical changes in
the nature of our everyday interaction with technology. Students get
opportunities to learn about current knowledge in human-computer
interaction, experience advanced techniques and interaction design
and understand empirical methods for evaluation.

During collaborative group design projects students engage in
interaction design for state of the art technology such as
ubiquitous computing, web interfaces and novel devices, and address
issues of user experience as well as more traditional usability.
While not neglecting established application areas in the office and
'work' environments, we also encourage students to consider broader
domains such as web communities, devices and interfaces in vehicles
and the home, applications for fun and entertainment, and arts-
technology intersections.

Applicants are encouraged from relevant disciplines such as
computing, psychology or ergonomics, but also we have had students
from other related areas such as graphic design and music technology.
Mature students also very welcome as the course gets its buzz from the
(sometimes eclectic) mix of academic and practical backgrounds of its
members.
