Master of Science degrees

Master IHM

Objectives

The Masters in Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) is a joint diploma organised by Paul Sabatier university (Toulouse 3) and the ENAC (École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile - French School of Civil Aviation). This course trains high-level professional specialists in the design and development of interactive applications, with an understanding of IT techniques and human performance.

HMI Master graduates are able to:

  • Manage the "user-based" development of interactive software.
  • Define and apply standards in terms of formats and usability. 
  • Assess the ergonomics and usability of software.

Masters' modules complete initial training in IT and provide specific skills in the field:

  • Technological skills: understanding of the tools and techniques used in New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT).
  • Method-based skills: software engineering, development process management and project management methods in the context of the development of interactive software. 
  • Integrating human performance considerations in the design of human-machine interfaces: human engineering, cognitive psychology, experimental psychology, ensuring our graduates can produce human-friendly software with a high level of usability.

 

Prerequisites

Candidates must hold initial training including a M1/M2 qualification in IT (computer science, business IT, etc.) or a diploma considered as equivalent by the selection jury.

For continuous training, candidates must hold at least three years of professional experience in IT.
