The Artificial Intelligence Master's programme at Radboud University has a distinctly cognitive focus where computational modelling is the central methodology used to understand naturally intelligent systems, build artificially intelligent systems and improve the interactions between natural and artificial systems. Students can choose one of two specialisations: Cognitive Computing or Intelligent Technology.
As humans, we may be intrigued by the complexity of any daily activities. How does it actually work to perceive, to act, to decide and to remember? Learn how to create artificial information systems that mimic biological systems as well as how to use theoretical insights from AI to better understand cognitive processing in humans.
What will you learn?
In this Master's specialisation you learn how models based on neural information processing can be used to develop artificial systems, such as neuromorphic hardware and deep neural networks, as well as the development of new computational models, machine learning approaches, and classification techniques to better understand how the human brain realizes cognition. You will learn about fundamental questions with respect to brain and cognition, like how we can explain and make sense of our sensory inputs, and how the brain can be so remarkably efficient given bounded resources.
Where do our graduates work now?
Examples of jobs that a graduate of the specialisation in Cognitive Computing could get:
Artificial Intelligence researcher
Machine Learning Expert
Neurotech expert
Artificial Intelligence policy maker
Data scientist
Career prospects
Our Artificial Intelligence graduates have excellent job prospects and are often offered a job before they have actually graduated. Many of our graduates go on to do a PhD either at a major research institute or university with an AI department. Other graduates work for companies interested in cognitive design and research. Examples of companies looking for AI experts with this specialisation: Google, Facebook, IBM, Philips and the Brain Foundation. Some students have even gone on to start their own companies or joined recent startups.
