World University Ranking of Human-Computer Interaction Major

Ten world-famous interactive schools are ranked in no particular order.

1) Carnegie Mellon University

Although the overall ranking is in no particular order, the position has to be given to Kamei, which is also recognized by all interactive institutions around the world.

As the earliest institution in the world to offer courses in human-computer interaction, the interaction design of Carnegie Mellon University in the United States has a history of nearly 30 years, which is hard to be surpassed.

Including Apple, Microsoft, Google and other technology giants, are cooperative enterprises of Kamei.

Many famous enterprises are undoubtedly Kamei's best teaching resources, and students majoring in human-computer interaction can get access to advanced interactive projects in the learning process, which has also formed a cycle to keep Kamei in a global position.

But as the best interactive major in the world, Kamei's application requirements are also extremely demanding. For example, in terms of language, TOEFL requires 100+ and 25+for a single item; IELTS requires a total score of 8.5+ and a single item of 8.0+.

② Lunyi-London School of Communication

Although Kamei is the best, the higher application threshold than the sky still makes many people flinch; Relatively speaking, the interaction major applied by LCC in university of the arts london-London Media College in the UK is much closer to the people.

The interactive course of LCC is very comprehensive, emphasizing the cross-border research of interaction in different fields.

During the semester, the course will focus on the exploration of interaction design theory and research methodology; In the second and third semesters, students will be led to explore deeper man-machine relationship in practice and develop their own designs. The fourth semester is the landing and completion of the project.

Therefore, although the interaction design of LCC is also the direction of human-computer interaction, it is more design than science. Through the combination of theory and practice, explore a new mode of interactive development.

Compared with Kamei, the language and background threshold of LCC is much lower. For example, in terms of language, like the requirements of other majors in Lunyi, the total score of IELTS is 6.5+, and the single item is 5.5+.

However, as an art college, Lunyi's requirements on the collection of works are much more demanding than those of comprehensive colleges.

③ Royal College of Art

There is no interaction design in Huang Yi, because it divides interaction design into two directions and integrates them into two different majors: service design and innovative design engineering (IDE).

In fact, before 20 15, there was an interactive major in Huang Yi, but later, according to the different teaching and development directions, interaction was divided into these two majors and taught separately.

Service design direction is close to business. It is not difficult to see that many courses are biased towards business, such as enterprise design, design management, design implementation, data science, product service system and so on.

IDE project is a cooperative project between Crystal and London and Imperial College London. Although the course also belongs to the category of interactive design, it combines the contents of design, science and technology, art, engineering, business and other disciplines, and attaches great importance to teamwork to cultivate interdisciplinary talents.

④ new york University.

The film major of new york University is world-famous, and the interactive design major of NYU- Tisch of new york University is also one of the trump cards of new york University.

NYU is one of the few universities in the world with two interactive majors, namely ITP Interactive Communication Design and IDM Integrated Digital Media.

ITP is a two-year postgraduate course, which focuses on critical thinking, creative exploration and continuous summary and progress through trial and error.

ITP courses are not exactly the same every year, such as creative programming, welding circuit, new media art history, VR, surveillance documentary and so on, which have been changing with the trend of the times.

IDM course is more scientific, emphasizing the application of science and technology in art research and practice.

IDM course integrates common themes in artistic environment, such as interactive media, signal processing, human-computer interaction and so on. It can give students more opportunities to contact modern and top-end teaching facilities, such as audio lab, VR lab, motion capture lab and maker space.

⑤ Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) is an art school whose QS art and design discipline ranks Australia 1 and the world 15, ranking among the best in many design disciplines in Australia. Of course, it also includes the interactive field.

The interactive design of RMIT is the direction of interactive media, and it is merged into the same major as game animation. Students will experience an immersive interactive learning process in the studio.

Due to the merger with game animation, RMIT interactive students will also learn professional knowledge including 2D/3D animation, dynamic images and visual effects.

When many students graduate, their works still have the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Melbourne World Animation Festival and get internships and employment opportunities from famous enterprises.

It is precisely because of its strong cross-border nature that it has become the most popular interaction design in Australia, and its application competition is fierce.

⑥ art center college of design

Art center college of design (ACCD) is located near Los Angeles, California, USA, and is famous for its global traffic design specialty.

But in fact, ACCD also offered interactive design courses during the undergraduate period, and it is very famous in the United States because it emphasizes practicality and attaches great importance to students' practical ability in teaching.

ACCD's interactive design course emphasizes core methods, tools and production processes, leading students to understand the user experience and innovation path more deeply and find the breakthrough point of interactive design.

Therefore, in addition to making manual models, students majoring in interaction in this school have to learn many research methods and how to turn visual things into codes. There are many learning contents and heavy homework, but it is also helpful for students' future career development.

⑦ Glasgow School of Art

Glasgow School of Art (GSA) is the third most famous art school in Britain, second only to Imperial Art and Lun Art.. Because it was founded in 1845 with a long history, in the eyes of the British, it actually surpassed Lun Yi.

Although GSA is an ancient university, it has always been at the forefront of the world in setting up new majors, and interactive design is one of them.

The interaction design major of GSA attaches great importance to the combination of theory and practice, aiming at enhancing the interaction and communication between people, products and services.

Different from other universities, the research focus of GSA interaction major is people rather than technology itself. Students should consider not only product design and system design, but also user experience.

As the embodiment of product competitiveness, user experience has become an indispensable key factor in GSA interactive design thinking.

Because of this, the interaction design of GSA can actually improve and solve the problems in real life, which is more practical and commercial.

Loughborough University

Similar to GSA, Loughborough University's interaction design is also biased towards user experience, focusing on improving students' systematic thinking and creativity in user experience, service design and interaction design.

Specific to the course, during the semester, students mainly study design methodology, design user interface and user behavior trajectory by using knowledge of cognitive psychology, and understand the influence of usability and accessibility on user experience through tests;

The second semester course is mainly to let students understand the role of experience designers in the design team, learn how to play a personal role in the team, understand the relevant knowledge of service design and social change design, and complete the final graduation design.

In Britain, Loughborough's reputation in interactive design is not inferior to that of imperial art and ethical art, and both of them have awarded MSc and MA degrees for students with different academic backgrounds to choose freely.

Pet-name ruby visual arts school.

School of visual arts (SVA) only offers postgraduate courses, which, like most American universities, emphasizes the influence and value of interactive ideas on people's daily life.

Compared with other universities, the interaction design of SVA is more commercial. In the teaching process, we emphasize the cross-border between different disciplines, and strive to let each student find his own track and realize the seamless connection between learning and industry.

Specific to the course, the interactive design of SVA is mainly divided into two directions: the interface design of app and interactive digital media:

In the aspect of APP interface design, SVA will guide students to study with apps in different fields, find the similarities and differences of different app interfaces, and find a balance between aesthetics and practicality;

In terms of interactive digital media, SVA focuses on expanding the application scope of interactive theory, adding interactive design thinking to media, brands, equipment, and even space and music to realize cross-border integration of different disciplines.

Studying at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University ranks 16 in the world in the QS art design discipline ranking, and it is the second famous art design school in China after Tongji University.

Hong Kong Polytechnic once offered interactive design, but in 20021year, the professional official announced that it was renamed Intelligent System Design, and the course was deeply reformed.

As the name implies, Hong Kong Polytechnic has added new elements such as intelligent technology, system theory and innovative design on the basis of interaction, which has given interactive design, an already emerging specialty, more research directions.

The significance of this major lies in developing and popularizing advanced technologies and processes such as artificial intelligence, Industry 4.0, robot and AloT(AI+loT) through systematic design innovation, so as to increase the output of new talents for the rapid development of science and technology in China.
