This programme will equip you with the tools required to understand and develop current cognitively inspired computational models. Both industry and academia require skilled workers in this area, and therefore, students graduating here would be expected to be employed quite rapidly.

IT and Cognition is an interdisciplinary Master's programme where students work with technologies that shape the future. Cutting-edge information and communication technologies not only require technical innovation, but also deep knowledge of language, vision and other aspects of human cognition. For a computer to play Jeopardy, drive a car, or summarise a newspaper article it must mimic human cognitive processes to some extent.

The MSc in IT and Cognition at the University of Copenhagen is a very exclusive programme for a small group of talented and focused students who wish to excel in developing advanced cognitive technologies. Students will learn to deal with the complexity of human language, vision and cognition, design innovative and intelligent information and communication technology (ICT) using knowledge of language and human cognition, and identify new interesting applications of cognitive models. In the MSc programme students are presented with cutting-edge technologies such as natural language parsing, object recognition, virtual agents, machine translation, or visual scene analysis.
 

The IT and Cognition programme is research-based, which means that the lecturers are engaged in cutting-edge research in cognitive and computational modeling. Read more about cognitive and computational modeling research at the University of Copenhagen:
