Cognitive Science 120 hp
The field of cognitive science seeks to know how people and technology could work together. The key is to develop and evaluate a variety of technical solutions based on human's circumstances and potential. In the interactions between humans and technology it is necessary that human’s conditions and development potential are taken into account, while having knowledge of the capabilities and limitations that modern information technology has. The Master's program is closely linked to research and a large part of the teaching is done in cooperation with various research groups.
