Human-Computer Interaction in Germany

Germany’s Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) programs offer international students the chance to study at the intersection of psychology, computer science, and design in one of the world’s most innovation-driven economies. These English-taught degrees explore how humans interact with digital systems, covering cognitive psychology, usability, interface design, accessibility, data visualization, and emerging technologies like AR/VR, gesture control, and voice interfaces. Students gain hands-on experience in usability labs with tools such as eye-tracking and EEG systems, while internships with companies like BMW, SAP, and startups in Berlin’s thriving UX community provide practical industry exposure.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
