Rejected from 4 German universities for Interactive Design — looking for advice
​
I’m planning to pursue a Master’s in Interactive Design / UX/UI / HCI in Germany. I applied to 4 universities and unfortunately received rejections.
One of the main reasons mentioned was “incomplete documents,” although I had submitted all the required documents before the deadline.
I have a B.Tech in Computer Science and am looking to move into Interaction/UX Design.
If anyone is currently studying or has applied to similar programs in Germany, could you please help me understand:
- What could be causing these rejections?
- Is my CS background a disadvantage?
- How important is the portfolio/ECTS?
- Are there any specific mistakes I should look out for?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has successfully gotten into these programs. 🙏
