Re: [IxDA Discuss] HCI Masters in the UK - City University vs. University of York

[MissK]

Thank you both so much for your answers.

I have also been accepted to UCL so now i'm even more confused.

I like the fact that both York and City have technical components but
I don't think that's the case for UCL, which seems to be more theory
based. But UCL is one of the top universities in the world, and
although that is appealing, I'm not convinced that it should be the
main factor. The course content is the most important, followed by
whether the university is reputable...and I know York is great for
compsci.

I think I need to sit down and ask myself what I really want from the
course. With 6 years of web development/UI experience, does it really
matter if the has a programming aspect or not? I need to figure out
exactly what i'm looking for in the degree.

[IxDA Discuss] HCI Masters in the UK - City University vs. University of York

[MissK]

Hello,

I recently got offers from City University and the University of York
to pursue an MSc in HCI.

I am really torn between which university to attend because both seem
to have excellent masters programs. Does anybody have any experience
or feedback regarding the two programs and universities?

Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks,
k
