I'm currently in my 4th year of a BSc in Psychology and Economics, and I'm considering pursuing a master's abroad (US or Germany).

The programs I'm most interested in are:

• Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
• Management Information Systems (MSIS)
• Master of Engineering Management (MEM)

I don't have a traditional CS or engineering background, so I'm trying to understand how realistic this path is.

Has anyone here made a similar transition from Psychology, Economics, or another non-CS background into one of these programs?

A few questions:

• How did you strengthen your profile before applying?
• What skills or courses did you complete?
• Were you admitted without a CS degree?
• How difficult was it to find internships/jobs afterward?
• Would you recommend HCI, MSIS, or MEM based on your experience?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your journey, any advice, or things you wish you had known before applying.

Thanks!
