Human-AI Interaction MSc

Program Overview:
The MSc Human-AI Interaction at Brunel University London prepares students to design and evaluate intelligent systems that integrate artificial intelligence with human-centred design and user experience principles. It suits graduates who want to work at the intersection of AI, UX, HCI, data visualisation and ethical technology development.

Curriculum structure

Students begin with Human-AI Interaction, a core module that introduces design frameworks, interaction models and evaluation techniques for understanding how people engage with AI systems. They then move into Interactive AI Development and Applications and Data Visualisation, where they learn programming for AI interfaces, prototype interactive systems, and create visualisations that help users interpret AI outputs. Later, Ethics and Governance of Digital Systems provides grounding in responsible AI, covering fairness, transparency, privacy and accountability in user-facing AI design. The programme ends with a Master’s Project, allowing students to build a full human-centred AI system or conduct applied research combining AI, UX, HCI and ethical practice.

Focus areas: “Human-AI Interaction, Interactive AI Development, Data Visualisation, Human-Computer Interaction, AI Ethics & Governance, UX for AI Systems”

Learning outcomes: “Design AI-driven interfaces; build and prototype interactive AI systems; apply data-visualisation techniques; evaluate usability and user experience; integrate ethical principles into AI design; complete an applied AI/HCI project.”

Professional alignment (accreditation): Prepares graduates for roles such as AI product designer, UX/AI researcher, interaction designer, AI systems developer, or AI ethics and governance specialist.
