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.

The AI Master's programme at Radboud University has a distinctly cognitive focus. This cognitive focus leads to a highly interdisciplinary programme where students gain skills and knowledge from a number of different areas such as mathematics, computer science, psychology and neuroscience combined with a core foundation of artificial intelligence.

At Radboud University we also teach students how to develop practical applications that will become the next generation of products, apps, therapies and services. Our department has been awarded several prizes for its pioneering role in bringing innovations from science to society, e.g. in Assistive Technology for people with disabilities. You'll be taught the skills needed to conduct and steer such innovation processes. Many Master's research projects have both a scientific and a practical component.



Studieprogramma

opbouw
The foundation courses are compulsory and give students of all specialisations of AI vital general knowledge about the current state of AI research and its potential implications on society. Reasoning about the AI approach to understanding human cognition is an inspiring way to pose and re-think philosophical questions.

Students are trained in this so that they'll be able to develop a broad intellectual viewpoint. The foundation courses also teach students basic academic skills such as writing and developing a research plan. Every specialisation consists of a set of three compulsory courses that form the core of that specialisation. In addition, a further three specialisation electives can be chosen from a specific list to deepen your knowledge within your chosen specialisation. Within the 9 EC of the restricted electives, you can choose other electives within your specialisation to further deepen your knowledge in that field of study. Alternatively, you can choose to broaden instead of deepen your knowledge by taking any elective from one of the other AI specialisations. Finally, you have a total of 12 EC of free electives that can be used to take any (AI relevant) course taught at Radboud University, or abroad. To finalise your AI master's programme, you have the choice of either an Internship (18EC) and Research Project (30EC) or a single larger Extended Research Project (48EC).



1e jaar The curriculum of the AI master's programme consists of four parts: a general introductory course, a number of compulsory courses for the specialisation of your choice, a number of courses to be chosen freely and an internship and Master Thesis.
By choosing a specialisation, free choice courses and subjects for the internship and thesis, each student can compose their personal AI master curriculum.

specialisaties

specialisatie Intelligent Technology

The specialisation in Intelligent Technology focuses on developing intelligent machines and new ways for humans and machines to interact, as well as understanding cognition through human behaviour.

As humans, we may be intrigued by the complexity of any daily activity. How does it actually work to perceive, to act, to decide, and to remember? On the one hand, if we understand how our own intelligence works, we can use this knowledge to make computers smarter. On the other hand, by making computers behave more like humans, we learn more about how our own cognition works. Its purpose is twofold: to gain a better understanding of the neuro-cognitive basis of human cognition, and to further the realisation of human-like and user-friendly cognition in artificial systems. The AI Master's programme at Radboud University has a distinctly cognitive focus. This cognitive focus leads to a highly interdisciplinary programme where students gain skills and knowledge from a number of different areas such as mathematics, computer science, psychology and neuroscience combined with a core foundation of artificial intelligence. The Intelligent Technology specialisation focuses on using state-of-the-art AI techniques to make smarter artificial systems that are meant to facilitate or interact with humans.

specialisatie Cognitive Computing

The specialisation in Cognitive Computing focuses on human cognition and its interaction with artificial intelligence by studying and designing artificial cognitive systems.

objectives
After following an introductory course which will provide an insight in the current topics of Artificial Intelligence, you will continue with core courses that form the specialisation such as Bayesian and decision models in artificial intelligence, Advances in Human-Computer interfacing. You can also choose from a multitude of elective courses to further deepen your specialisation or to broaden your perspective by following electives from the Brain-Computer Interfacing specialisation.
study abroad
You are encouraged to go abroad for your internship and/or research project (previously students have gone to Stanford University in California and Aldebaran Robotics in Paris).
