Cognitive Computing

Cognitive Computing refers to computational models of cognitive abilities. Through training in this programme graduates are enabled to apply their acquired skills for the develop­ment of innovative intelligent systems and services. The in-service Master's programme in Cognitive Computing is designed for professionals who study Cognitive Computing in parallel to their job. Besides cutting-edge research in AI and digitalisation, students are trained in close connection to real-world applications. Students can earn a substantial part of the required credits in a collaboration with the company that employs them. Advanced e-learning tools are used to familiarise students with state-of-the-art technologies. Special block courses allow students to block a module for a few days. Specific study plans are developed individually for each student. The Master's programme consists of 120 ECTS credits (including thesis). Students participate in a one-year study project either at the institute or in collaboration with the company that employs them. The Master's programme is completed with a Master's thesis (30 ECTS) in the fourth semester, which can also be done in collaboration with the company, and leads to a "Master of Science (MSc)" degree in Cognitive Computing. Students of Cognitive Computing select an individual set of courses on selected topics from the areas of: Artificial Intelligence Neuroinformatics Computational Linguistics Computer Vision NeuroAI (Computational) Neuroscience
