For example, studying intermediate studies may require some completed basic studies. These are described on the Information about studies tab of the study unit under prior requirements.When you have been admitted to the studies, you must enrol separately via the Sisu information system for the implementation of the unit of study and, for example if set, for a practise group of your choice. You will receive instructions on how to do this by e-mail after you have confirmed your acceptance of the study place by paying the required fee.

The most common human-centered design (HCD) methods are learned both in theory and practice. The methods are introduced and discussed in weekly meetings and learned in practice during the course work in small design projects. The student will learn techniques for gathering, modeling and analyzing user research data, methods for specifying and designing products and services, and principles of interaction and interface design, and prototyping. These include, among others, observation, interviewing, consolidating models for interaction, artifacts, physical and cultural models, affinity diagrams, personas, scenarios, sketching, storyboarding, wireframes, design patterns, interactive UI mock-ups, etc.

Upon completion of the course, the student will<ul><li>understand the key principles of the human-centered design process and be able to conduct a full human-centered research and design process in practice. </li><li>be able to apply the methods in different types of design processes and application areas.</li><li>have enough experience to take responsibility for a small design project.  </li><li>be able to analyze and model different types of user research data from various sources, and identify the most relevant user-related aspects that affect the design of ICT.</li></ul>

<h2>Prerequisites</h2>The student must have taken a basic-level course (preferably several) on Human-Technology Interaction, Usability, User Experience, or similar topics.<h2>Recommended Prerequisites</h2><ul><li>Usability Evaluation Methods, HTI.300, 5 cr</li><li>Human-Technology Interaction 1: Basics, HTI.100, 5 cr</li></ul>
