Program details

Overview

Human beings sense, remember, reason and plan, and technical systems that reproduce such abilities are described as cognitive systems. This English-taught master of science examines what underlies these abilities, both in theory and in experiments, and links brain mechanisms, observable behaviour and findings from psychology through modelling. Results from the field feed into intelligent machines that bring together sensing, thinking and acting. Topics include perception, how people learn and remember, planning, deciding and drawing conclusions, and interaction. The four-semester programme awards 120 credit points. Early semesters cover a basic and an interdisciplinary subject, followed by a more specialised block and a practice-oriented block, and the final term is reserved for the thesis. Teaching is full time and starts only in the winter semester. About twenty places are available, and applicants must meet entry requirements described in the application section of the university website.
