We mourn the loss of Prof. Dr. Gunther Heidemann

The University of Osnabrück and in particular all members of the Institute of Cognitive Science mourn the loss of Prof. Dr. Gunther Heidemann, who died tragically on August 14 at the age of 58. Gunther Heidemann became a W3 professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science (IKW) in April 2011. In addition to his teaching activities in the fields of machine learning and computer vision, he has since been instrumental in establishing the “Biologically Oriented Computer Vision” working group and has also rendered outstanding services to the IKW and the Department of Human Sciences in many ways through his extensive administrative commitment.

Information on the new study regulations

The new study regulations for Cognitive Science and Cognitive Computing will take effect for all students starting in the upcoming winter semester 2024/25. Students who have already begun their studies can decide whether they would like to switch. Our degree programs continue to provide an outstanding study structure that ensures a balanced combination of a solid foundational education and an even greater opportunity for individual specialization and deepening.

Bachelor Cognitive Science

This program is designed for you to explore the different fields within Cognitive Science, all while building a solid foundation in the core areas of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Modelling, Computational Linguistics, Neurobiology, Neuroinformatics, Neuroscience, Philosophy of Mind. 

Master Cognitive Science

This Master Program allows you to refine your knowledge in Cognitive Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics and Computational Linguistics, Neuroinformatics and Robotics, Neuroscience, and Philosophy of Mind and Cognition. You will build on your research skills through lab rotations, a year-long study project, and your master's thesis.

Master Cognitive Computing

The Cognitive Computing Program specializes in studying computational models of cognitive abilities. This course addresses working professionals who will continue to work in parallel to their studies. Graduates of this program are able to use their acquired skills for the development of innovative intelligent systems and services. 

Cognitive Science Student Journal

The Cognitive Science Student Journal publishes student works from all disciplines of Cognitive Science. In the Kaleidoscience Podcast students get a chance to talk about their own ideas and projects.
