Master of Science in Interactive Arts and Technology

The Master of Science degree is for students working within a scientific and technological area. Methods of research include the mathematical models and quantitativemixed methods of evaluation.The master of science (MSc) is one of the three degrees offered in SIAT in art, design, media and information technology with particular expertise in the computational aspects of how humans interact with technologies and systems related to areas including art, design, new media learning, business, cognition, performing arts, social science and cultural studies. The program is geared toward students who wish to learn about designing, making and using human-centred technologies. Methodological approaches in this degree are primarily drawn from scientific, computational, design and engineering traditions of inquiry.The program has the following objectives: research and development of new computational technology in the context of complex human organizations and situations; research into the process of creating and managing technology; inquiry into and use of research methodologies that enable interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of new technologies; and research into the application of new digital technologies in society and industry, particularly related to improving human-technology interaction.
