Education
Are you interested in shaping technological solutions, organisations and ways of working? Our courses provide you with knowledge of interaction between people, environment and technology, which is a prerequisite for good design in many areas.
We offer a range of courses within the Faculty of Science’s Master of Engineering programme and the School of Industrial Design. For those with work experience who want to develop in their field, we have freestanding courses and commissioned education. Courses are up to date and kept relevant for the labour market through the many collaborations with companies and organisations, both in research and education.
Courses in many fields
You can choose courses covering areas such as workplace and health, organisation and leadership, airborne particles and health hazards, virtual reality and interaction design, rehabilitation engineering, risk and safety management or thermal environment.
List of courses
You find current courses at basic and advanced levels under the different area headings below. The links lead to detailed information about the courses in the respective syllabi on LTH course web.
What particles are found in the air and what happens when we breathe them in? Increased knowledge about air pollution in the form of airborne particles is becoming increasingly important. Knowing more about healthy air – both indoors and outdoors – is important in our daily lives, but also when addressing societal challenges such as sustainable cities, clean energy production and climate mitigation.

- Universal Design, Theory and Project – TNSF10 – 7.5 credits
- Universal Design, Theory – TNSA01 – 2 credits
- Universal Design, Project – TNSF02 – 5 credits
Advanced level:
Our courses provide a better understanding of how today's new technologies are used by highlighting how people and technology interact.
In the field of interaction design, you will learn both to work with user-centred design processes and to actually design digital technical solutions. With technologies such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, we simulate environments and social situations with a high degree of realism. These are skills that are increasingly in demand.
Basic level:
- Cognition and Interaction Design – MAMA20 – 7.5 credits
- Interaction Design, Process Course – MAMF60 – 7.5 credits

- Theoretical Perspectives in Interaction Design – MAMN50 – 7.5 hp
- Working Environment, Project – MAMN40 – 7.5 credits
Knowledge of risk and safety management in work environments and safety-critical systems is increasingly important in today's society. The interaction between people, technology and organisation (Human Factors) is a key starting point in this field, which you can learn more about through our courses.
Basic level:
- Working Environment, Occupational Health and Safety – MAMF21 – 7.5 credits
- Human in Extreme Environments – MAMF35 – 7.5 credits
Advanced level:
How does the climate, different temperatures and the surrounding environments affect human health, performance, comfort and well being? What significance does our behaviour, choice of clothing and protective equipment have on our health? Knowledge in the field of thermal environment is becoming increasingly important in a world of climate change.
