bild-rechtsA Curriculum that connects AI Literacy, Behavioral Science, and Human-Centered Digital Product Design

As AI drastically changes how we design products, consciously focusing on the user experience has become more important than ever. This Impact Master empowers you to build products that thrive long-term.

  • AI Capabilities and the Future of Tech: Understand AI’s capabilities, how we already use it in business and life as well as its huge potential in the future.
  • Challenges and Ethics in AI Innovation: Explore AI concepts, real applications, and limits, risks, and ethics so you can make informed decisions that consider both benefits and downsides.
  • Human–Technology Interaction: Explore how people perceive, interpret, and engage with digital systems, drawing on psychology and neuroscience to understand attention, motivation, and decision-making in technology use.
  • Psychology-Informed Design: Learn to apply psychological principles to the design of digital experiences, using iterative design and evaluation approaches to shape more effective, responsible, and user-centered technologies.

  • Applicants for the 90 ECTS Master of Arts (MA) must have an undergraduate degree with at least 210 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters.
  • Applicants for the 120 ECTS Master of Arts (MA) must have an undergraduate degree with at least 180 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters.
  • Motivation must be shown through the application form and will be further assessed during the admission process.
  • An admission interview is mandatory to evaluate eligibility and alignment with the program.
Admission without an Undergraduate Degree

A previous undergraduate university degree is required to apply. Although applicants without a degree but with vocational training and relevant professional experience may sometimes be eligible for special entrance exams, this does not apply to this program. Therefore, we cannot accept applications without a completed university degree.

Policy on ECTS Credits and Graduation Requirements

  • To graduate with the MA, learners must achieve a total of 300 ECTS by the end of the program.
  • Learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 120 ECTS MA will meet the requirement naturally.
  • Learners with a 210 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 90 ECTS MA will also meet the requirement.
  • In rare cases, learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree seeking the 90 ECTS MA may have 30 ECTS credited from professional experience to reach the required 300 ECTS. This is strongly discouraged in favor of the 120 ECTS program.
  • Professional experience must be relevant to MA subjects, involve at least two years of full-time work, and may include sustainability, innovation, or technology-related roles.
