Master Cognitive Computing (Study Regulation 2019/20)
The Master’s program comprises a mandatory area, a mandatory elective area, the free electives, and the Master’s thesis.
In the mandatory area, students participate in a one-year study project in a group of around 10 students. During the project, the students should prove that they can independently formulate and solve a problem from a scientific context using the methods and theoretical knowledge accessible to them through their studies. Students of Cognitive Computing can pursue their study project as an individual project in collaboration with the company they work for, and will be co-supervised by experts from the Institute of Cognitive Science. Alternatively, students of Cognitive Computing can also participate in one of the regular study projects offered for students of Cognitive Science. Additionally, students participate in “Inderdisciplinary Courses” to gain diverse perspectives and methodologies from multiple fields of study.
In the mandatory elective area, students chose two of the four disciplines Artificial Intelligence, Computational Linguistics, Neuroinformatics, and Neuroscience.
In the free electives, Master students can take courses depending on their interests, including further courses from Cognitive Science and related disciplines, language courses, or other courses.
In the thesis, students demonstrate their ability to conduct independent research, critically analyze findings, and contribute original knowledge to their field of study.
