6 Ergonomics Masters Degree Programs

Human Factors is sometimes also referred to as "Engineering Psychology" or "Ergonomics." This is a rapidly growing field with wide engineering and non-engineering applications.

Inclusive Design advances accessibility, and encompasses the full range of human diversity including ability, language, culture, gender and age. Inclusive Design recognizes that we aren’t all the same. Design must be usable, flexible, and customizable among other qualities to be truly inclusive. From policies, customer service, infrastructure, technology, buildings to everyday products—we can design so that everyone can be accommodated and included.

The MSc in Human Factors and Ergonomics will give you the skills to study the role of people in complex systems. The skills you develop equip you for careers in research as well as professional practice in this field. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of how people interact with complex systems.

Current changes in the automotive sector were the precursor of the Master´s Program in Automotive Engineering. This master offers a deep insight in automotive technologies. The aim of the master’s degree is to achieve a profile of a high-qualified technician in the technologies related to this sector. For instance: electricity and electronics, knowledge of ergonomics and the interaction between the users and the vehicle, new materials and processing techniques, comfort, navigation systems, applied control systems, without forgetting the aspects related to propulsion systems, conventional or new (electric, with fuel cell), or the state-of-the-art calculation, design, and experimental tools. The learning methodology is based on projects where the practical work requests planning and organization tasks such as the ones of real industrial project. Students get familiar with the project management, which is compulsory for any engineer.

The Human Factors and Ergonomics M.S. program is designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in understanding human behavior and capabilities to optimize the design of...

The Master's degree in Occupational Psychology and Ergonomics (PTE) trains occupational psychologists and ergonomists-occupational psychologists who specialize in individual, collective and organizational intervention and support, in connection with issues of skills development, health, employment and work.
