Through this course students with a special interest within the field of human-computer interaction have the opportunity to conduct theoretical, empirical or design studies that can be specifically designed for the student to fit his/her interests.
Course contents and examination are individually defined for each student.
Teaching consists of individual supervision.
Students interested in taking the course should write a research proposal, A4 page (max) describing specific research interests in the area of HCI. The research proposal needs to at least specify a research question or a design problem or a specific methodology. Send the proposal to the person in charge of a course.
The course can only be offered if the department has sufficient resources and competence within the special interest area.
