Interactive Media Systems

Overview

This Master's programme in Interactive Media Systems at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg is offered in English and German. Currently, two specialisations are available in English: Mixed Reality & Usability and Human–Computer Interaction Design. Your Master's thesis is completed within the chosen specialisation, allowing you to focus your final project on the topic area you select.

Structure and focus

The curriculum is organised into four complementary areas: the Master's project (carried out in your specialisation), core subjects, workshops and seminars, and general accompanying subjects. Core subjects deliver the programme’s foundational knowledge, workshops and seminars provide hands-on and applied learning, and the general accompanying subjects round out transferable and interdisciplinary skills that support your studies and professional development.
