Course Details

Objectives: Graduates from our program are ready for scientific careers in the many disciplines that encompass cognitive science, and are also qualified for research and management activities in related scientific fields. Equipped with a broad basis of current knowledge about cognitive processes and their biological and computational foundations, as well as advanced mathematical and methodological skills, they can design complex research projects and experiments, develop hypotheses, and evaluate them on a quantitative basis.

Intended for: Students

Admission requirements: Your interest in applied mathematics and the biological sciences, as well as curiosity about the neuroscientific and cognitive foundations of human behavior, constitute a solid foundation for beginning your master’s studies.

In general, the prerequisite for master’s studies at the University of Potsdam is an academic degree, such as a bachelor’s degree. Your first degree should be in a subject that is relevant to your course of study, for example in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, or linguistics. Bridge modules at the start of the master’s degree provide missing mathematical or experimental training. Therefore, graduates of other related disciplines (e.g., neurobiology, philosophy of mind, biomechanics and sport sciences) might also qualify.

Because this degree program is taught in English, we expect good English skills that correspond at least to the B2 level of the Common European Reference Framework for Languages.
