Contents
Each semester, we offer various topics to be worked on as part of a complex internship. Our complex internships can be credited in various modules.
General aims
In the complex internships Human-Computer Interaction and Multimodal Interaction, existing knowledge of multimodal interaction techniques, user-centered design, user interface development and software techniques is to be deepened. Students will have the opportunity to gain an insight into scientific topics on the basis of current projects and to participate in the development of software in the state-of-the-art research field. Sound knowledge of programming languages, working with development environments and version management as well as software engineering are required.
What you should bring with you:
- Interest in the field of human-computer interaction
- Basic programming experience in object-oriented programming languages
- Ability to work in a team
What you can bring with you:
Programming experience or experience in designing user interfaces, insights into the wide-ranging field of human-computer interaction with a focus on adaptation to user groups with disabilities (in this case blind or visually impaired users), exposure to prototypical, innovative applications and devices.
Time and place
The course will not be offered in summer 2026!
The course is mainly organized online (in the OPAL course see below).
You will receive information on the first date for the presentation of the selectable topics in the OPAL course. We will probably offer the topic presentation on site or in hybrid mode. The exact date will be announced in OPAL and usually takes place in the second or third week of lectures.
The subsequent processing of the topics will take place in coordination with the supervising colleagues on site, online or hybrid.
Enrolment
Please use OPAL to enrol for the Human-Computer Interaction or Multimodal Interaction practical course, depending on which module you would like to take. If you have problems enrolling via OPAL, please contact the above-mentioned contact person by e-mail.

Information on mental health The vocational training and qualification phase in the transition between school and later working life is a crucial and sensitive phase of life. You should therefore take care of your mental health, especially in challenging situations such as exam phases or before deadlines. You are welcome to use our OPAL resources on mental health (Mental Health First Aid, MHFA) as a starting point. |
Various topics are available from the areas of barrier-free design of presentation software to remote concepts, indoor localization, gesture recognition and robotics. Depending on the number of participants and interest, a decision will be made in the first course as to which topics will be pursued.
