The two-year Interaction, Graphics & Design Master’s program aims to provide comprehensive coverage of human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and design. The program trains students to design and create advanced interactive computing systems. It also provides them with fundamental knowledge and practical methods, as well as introducing them to advanced techniques.

Students can choose from a wide range of courses devoted to topics such as human-computer interaction, design, computer graphics, augmented/virtual reality, and multimodal interaction. Students can choose to study the field in breadth or focus on a specific subdomain.  Specialized classes include user-centered design, user evaluation, innovation design, interactive software development, web and mobile computing, augmented and virtual reality, information visualization, image synthesis, computational geometry, GPU programming, computer animation, 3D modeling, on-line and video games, multimedia networking, gestural interaction, multimodal interfaces, tangible fabrication, conversational agents and affective robotics.

Conducted in partnership with Université Paris-Saclay, the program is multidisciplinary and involves collaborations with experts in various fields.

Objectives

This Master’s program aims to enable students to:

• Explore the fundamentals of interaction, design, and computer graphics through a multidisciplinary approach
• Gain technical skills and concrete applied methodologies for making user interfaces and interactive 3D applications more creative and adapted to user needs
• Solve theoretical and applied problems with significant time devoted to projects, workshops, sprints and practical classes
• Become familiar with research and scientific work through a scientific project in the first year and an internship in the second year
• Prepare for a career in academia or industrial R&D

To complete the Master’s degree, first-year students can enter the following a second-year programs:

• Master Year 2 in Interaction, Graphics & Design
