The FSB contains the Studienfachbeschreibung (SFB), which lists the individual modules of the program. ### Fachspezifische Bestimmungen The FSB supplement the ASPO with details specific to the Master's program in Human-Computer Interaction. The FSB include the SFB as an annex. For students, the latest version of the FSB applies at the time of starting their studies. #### Fassung The version of the FSB is updated periodically. #### ASPO The ASPO is the general study and examination regulations. #### FSB The FSB are the subject-specific provisions. #### Modulhandbücher The module handbooks are available in German and English. ### Studienverlaufsplan The proposed module sequence plan for completing the program within the standard study period is outlined in the FSB from February 2021. ## Prüfungsangelegenheiten ### Prüfungsamt The examination office for the Human-Computer Interaction programs is part of the Faculty of Human Sciences. Information and documents from the examination office can be found on their website. The examination office is the contact point for questions regarding examination matters, such as registration for exams and thesis submissions, and provides the necessary application forms. ### Prüfungsausschuss The examination committee for the Human-Computer Interaction programs consists of: - Prof. Dr. Marc Erich Latoschik (Chairman) - Prof. Dr. Jörn Hurtienne (Deputy Chairman) - Jonathan Tschanter (Member) - Dr. Tobias Grundgeiger (Deputy Member) ### Prüfungsanmeldung und Abmeldungsfristen There are generally three different periods for registering and deregistering for an examination: - A period in the middle of the lecture period for modules that include a written examination at the end of the lecture period - A period at the beginning of the lecture period for modules that include presentations, for example - The entire semester (WS 01.10. – 30.03.; SoSe 01.04. – 30.09.) for modules like the internship Important: Registration and deregistration deadlines are updated for each module each semester in WueStudy. After the deadlines have passed, registration or deregistration is no longer possible. If you take an examination without prior registration, it will not be evaluated and cannot be credited! ## Nachholen von Grundlagenveranstaltungen als quereinsteigende Person As a lateral entrant, for example from psychology or computer science, you have the opportunity to catch up on basic courses from the bachelor's program to close any knowledge gaps. However, this requires prior agreement with the academic advisory service. ## Anrechnung bereits erbrachter Leistungen To have study achievements credited that were completed outside of the Human-Computer Interaction programs, please fill out the official form for crediting examination achievements and submit it to the examination committee via the academic advisory service. Further information can be found on the examination office's website. ## Ausstellung des Masterzeugnisses After all achievements have been recorded in WueStudy, the master's certificate can be issued. The issuance must be applied for at the examination office using the application for issuance of a degree certificate. ### Wissenschaftliches Praktikum ## Anforderungen - The duration of the scientific internship corresponds to 8 weeks full-time (approximately 320 hours). - Internships can also be completed part-time, for example, accompanying the semester. - The scientific internship can be completed through several shorter internships (at least 80 hours per internship). - Internships must usually be completed at the Chair of Psychological Ergonomics, Human-Computer Interaction, or in the working group Psychology of Intelligent Interactive Systems. - Potential external internship positions must be clearly located in the HCI context and approved by the examination committee in advance (see form below). - Supervising persons must hold a doctoral degree in a field close to HCI. - Registration in WueStudy must be done in the semester in which the internship is completed. - After completing the internship, the activity must be confirmed by the internship provider (see form below). - After completing the internship, a two-page internship report must be written (see template below). - For successful completion of the career-oriented internship, all aforementioned documents must be submitted to the academic advisory service by email. ## Formulare und Vorlagen - Application for approval of an internship position - Internship confirmation - The two-page (approximately 1600 words) internship report should be written as a research report (i.e., what was the research question, the problem of the internship project; what was the contribution of the intern; methods, results, etc.) using an appropriate HCI template such as the IEEE template. ## Zeitlicher Ablauf The illustration shows the process steps that must be gone through when completing a creditable internship. ### HCI Projekt ## Themenfindung Contact potential supervising persons early to determine a topic for the HCI project. Topic announcements can be found on the following pages: - Announcements from the Chair of Human-Computer Interaction (please note the hints on Writing a Thesis / Process) - Announcements from the Chair of Psychological Ergonomics - Announcements from the Professorship for Psychology of Intelligent Interactive Systems ### Masterarbeit ## Themenfindung Contact potential supervising persons early to determine a topic for the master's thesis. Topic announcements can be found on the following pages: - Announcements from the Chair of Human-Computer Interaction - Announcements from the Chair of Psychological Ergonomics - Announcements from the Professorship for Psychology of Intelligent Interactive Systems ## Verfassen der Arbeit Further information can be found on the page Writing a Thesis of the Chair of Human-Computer Interaction. Regulations on the language and formatting of the master's thesis can be found in the ASPO, § 26 Absatz (9) and (10). ## Beantragung der Arbeit In agreement with the supervising person, the master's thesis must be applied for in writing at the examination office.
