Program details

Overview

This two-year master's programme combines technical skills in data science, machine learning and computational modelling with questions about the mind, studying and simulating human cognition and analysing neuroimaging data. Students use artificial intelligence methods to study language, memory and brain activity, and apply cognitive models to areas such as technology design, education and user experience, including comparing how humans process language with how large language models do so, and considering how AI systems might be made safer and better aligned with human cognition. Within the general programme, students can choose tracks in Human-Centred AI, Human Language Modelling or Neuro-Cognitive Computing, alongside an optional Science, Business and Policy track.
