Cognitive Science: Shape the future!

Cognitive Science combines a variety of subjects with the aim of understanding complex cognitive processes such as attention, thinking, planning, learning, speech and action in biological and artificial systems. The knowledge gained is used in the development of artificial intelligence and in applications to improve the quality of life - for example through aids for people with cognitive impairments or optimized learning environments. The degree program also promotes critical thinking and the analysis of complex social challenges.

Highlights of the study program
  • Thematic diversity and interdisciplinarity
  • High flexibility in course selection, personal focus
  • International orientation
  • Excellent research environment
  • Early research experience
  • Diverse, committed student body
  • Vibrant CogSci community, including alumni
  • Diverse collaborations with industry

I didn't fully appreciate how wonderful this institute is until I started here  - a very cool institute and faculty and the people who study and work here (I already had a sense of this when I first saw Coxis, but it gets even better with time!), and incredible how supportive Coxis are!

Master Cognitive Computing

Cognitive computing deals with the computer-aided modeling of cognitive abilities. Graduates are able to use their acquired skills for the development of innovative intelligent systems and services after their extra-occupational studies.

Doctorate in Cognitive Science

The doctoral program enables excellent students to conduct independent research on highly topical issues in cognitive science and to complete a doctorate within typically three years. The degree awarded is usually the"Ph.D. in Cognitive Science".
