Design Informatics MSc

A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in computer science, informatics, artificial intelligence, physics, engineering, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, or neuroscience. Your application should show evidence of solid computer programming skills in a programming language; HTML and web design do not count, but relevant mathematical and statistical scripting languages such as R and Matlab do, as do C/C++, Java, Python. This evidence can be either a certificate in a relevant MOOC, or a course in programming that you have successfully passed. If your degree involves a final project, your mark in that project should be a B or higher. Your personal statement should discuss why you are interested in the programme, as outlined above and on the Institute for Design Informatics website, your background or interest in design, art, and information visualisation, and your relevant programming skills. We're also looking out for applicants that demonstrate a deep awareness of the social implications of new technologies, and are interesting in studying people's experiences of data-driven technologies. English language requirement: IELTS Academic total 7.0 with at least 6.5 in each component, or an accepted equivalent.
