Computational Cognitive Science
Master
If you're eager to combine technical skills with deep questions about the mind and machine, then the Master's degree in Computational Cognitive Science (CCS) is for you.Gain expertise in AI, cognitive modelling, neuroscience, and data science:
How do humans process language, and how does this compare to Large Language Models like ChatGPT? How can AI become safer, more user-friendly, and aligned with human cognition? How can we use AI to better understand memory, perception, and brain activity?
What you'll learn
- Study and simulate human cognition and analyse neuroimaging data
- ️Use artificial intelligence to study language, memory, and brain activity
- Apply cognitive models to improve technology, education, and user experience
- Master advanced techniques in data science, machine learning, and computational modelling
Specialisations

ECTS
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
