HOW DO I TELL MY COMPUTER?

New technology, new programs or apps - enthusiasm is pre-programmed, at least when simple operation is possible and the new technology is really useful for its task. During your studies, you will learn how to achieve these goals, whether with speech, gestures or buttons, whether on a PC, on a smartphone, in a vehicle or in virtual realities and much more. You can also study Human-Technology Interaction as a dual course.

What our students and alumni say

"I'm studying Human-Technology Interaction because I want to shape the digital world. The course is interdisciplinary and combines many exciting areas. I can specialize over the course of my studies and the doors to many different professions are open to me after graduation. During my studies, I can find out whether I want to develop software or focus on a creative field later on.

The study atmosphere at HRW is informal. The lecturers listen to the students, help with questions and support us. You are not a student number.  I like the high proportion of practical work at the university. There are internships and seminars for every lecture where you can apply the theoretical knowledge you have learned. The HRW is still young and modern, so the labs are technically well equipped. This is very important, especially in the field of human-technology interaction."

Marius Hötten-Löns studied Human-Technology Interaction at Campus Bottrop from 2012 to 2016. He completed his studies in 2018 with a Master's degree in Computer Science. It soon became clear to him that he wanted to work as a developer later on. Since then, he has been an enthusiastic software engineer for iOS apps at NanoGiants in Düsseldorf, a company that develops customized and user-oriented software products.
