Tailoring computer usage to human needs

Interactive user interfaces are now found in almost all devices and systems. That is why developers must have comprehensive knowledge of computer science, digital media, and interaction design. In the Media Informatics program, you will gain exactly this knowledge. You will learn how people interact with computers and how engaging graphics are created. This will prepare you to design digital systems that are intuitive and user-friendly.

Good to know

  • This program focuses on the interface between humans and computers, but goes beyond traditional computer science. This is not about media design, but rather computer science with a clear focus on visualization and human-computer interaction.
  • The Department of Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart is highly regarded and offers a wide range of courses, allowing students to set their own academic priorities and specialize in their preferred areas.
  • The practical focus of the instruction is a clear advantage: students are exposed to real-world problems early on and can immediately apply what they have learned, while the curriculum is constantly updated to reflect the latest research findings. This study program is especially engaging as it introduces students to the workings of the professional world and prepares them thoroughly for their future careers.
