in cooperation with experienced researchers and companies offering internships.
two specific thematic paths
– neurocognitive and computational.
possibility of shaping your own course of study
– high level of freedom in choosing courses depending on your particular interests.
improved skills for the international labour market
– by gaining knowledge and experience in English.
AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAMME YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO:
create and analyse computational models explaining cognitive and social phenomena like decision making (eg. as a data scientist in marketing or financial industry),
create and develop tools based on machine learning, artificial intelligence and natural language processing for international companies,
design and conduct advanced studies, collaborating with researchers from various fields of science,
use your knowledge and skills to support development of new technologies in diverse areas and markets, for example education and rehabilitation of people with disabilities or cognitive disorders.
Julian
Cognitive Science graduate
The biggest highlight of studying Cognitive Science at UW is shaping your own course of studies. Due to the freedom I got in setting up my own curriculum, I was able to focus on topics that I found the most useful. I also liked the division into so-called paths. I chose the computational path since I wanted to work scientifically in the field of artificial intelligence. Studies at UW helped me to make that happen. After holding research positions at the top Canadian and German research institutions I currently pursue a PhD degree on the topic of interpretable AI and improving human decision-making at one of the leading American universities.
Karolina
Cognitive Science student
I applied for the Cognitive Science programme because I was interested in studies which combine many fields of science. I like the fact I could shape my own course of study and now I can attend different courses on topics that interest me. I chose the neurocognitive profile and I’m glad that from the second semester I was able to participate in real brain research. I currently learn how to organize and conduct a study, with particular use of EEG.
