Cognitive Science Master's Open Day
 
Institute for Cognitive Science
University of Osnabrück, Germany
 
Cognitive Science is a unique combination and integration of various disciplines focusing around the question of how humans perceive and think. With the aid of mathematical models we try to make results of neuroscienftific, psycho-logical and linguistic research available to and usable by computers. Philosophy of mind complements this holistic approach towards exploring cognition.
 
The Master's programme amounts to 120 ECTS credits, 30 of which refer to the Master’s thesis. In the second and third semester, students participate in a students' study project. Two focus areas have to be be chosen from
 
* Cognitive Psychology
* Artificial Intelligence
* Linguistics and Computational linguistics
* Neuroinformatics and Robotics
* Neuroscience
* Philosophy of Mind and Cognition
 
To spread the word about this unique opportunity for the interdisciplinary study of cognition we invite you to Osnabrück for the Master's Open Day on Friday, June 12th, 2009.
 
The Master's Open Day is organised by the student body and offers a relaxed and informal atmosphere for exploring the campus, meeting current students, researchers and professors, dig into our research topics and methods, and of course visit the city of peace, Osnabrück.
 
To minimise your expenses, current Cognitive Science students will provide lodging for you.
 
The following schedule is still provisional, however only marginal changes are likely to occur.
