Teaching and learning methods

The Master's programme in Universal Design of ICT (MAUU) aims to meet the growing need of society for knowledge and expertise in universal design of ICT solutions such as web and mobile applications, e-services, e-commerce and self-service machines. With an emerging e-society, it is becoming essential that all electronic information and services are accessible for all, regardless of the device, the situation, or the abilities of the user.

In Norway and many other countries, it is becoming a legal requirement that ICT solutions can be used by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities, so that all citizens can take an active part in social activities, education and employment. This poses great challenges for competent ICT professionals and society's ICT infrastructure and services. This Master's Programme provides a specialisation in Universal Design of ICT, which goes beyond the current Bachelor programmes in engineering, including electronics, computer science, information science and applied computer technology.

The full time Master's programme is intensive. Combining the full time Master's programme with other courses or employment is not recommended.

Course requirements

The Master's programme targets individuals who wish to qualify as specialists in universal design of ICT solutions. It is relevant for those with competences in human-computer interaction, as well as interaction designers, software engineers, related professionals in public sectors, non-profit organizations and private sectors, and those who are interested in further studies at doctoral level.

Assessment

In order to be qualified for this Master's programme, applicants must have a Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology or other equivalent qualifications, which include at least 80 ECTS within the field of computer science.

Please note that proof of English proficiency is also required. You are required to upload your own copy of your test results. Please refer to specific information below. (http://www.hioa.no/eng/Studies/International-Master-s-Degree-Programmes/Admission-to-international-Master-s-Degree-programmes).
