Annotation of the Higher Education Institution
Cognitive science examines phenomena such as perception and attention, memory and learning, planning, decision-making and problem solving, feeling, thinking, speaking and acting. In the 1970s, it evolved from a series of scientific/technical and humanities-related individual subjects into an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary subject. On the one hand, it is about understanding cognitive phenomena in biological systems. On the other hand, the knowledge that is gained is used to create artificial systems with comparable capabilities. While cognition was originally understood as a symbol processing process in the brain, cognitive research is now interested in a broad spectrum of phenomena that often also include the body and parts of the environment. Nevertheless, methods such as those of machine learning in artificial neural networks remain central to cognitive research. However, it also uses modern measurement methods (e.g. EEG, eye tracking) and allows subjects to explore virtual realities or examines the social behaviour of primates to learn more about cognition beyond the classic laboratory situation. Philosophical questions such as those on the ethics of artificial intelligence are not neglected either.
The Master's degree programme in "Cognitive Science" gives students the opportunity to specialise at greater depth in at least two sub-fields of cognitive science – (computer) linguistics, cognitive (neuro) psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroinformatics, neurosciences and philosophy – and to develop their individual academic profile in accordance with their interests and academic background. In interdisciplinary courses, students learn to understand and establish connections between the sub-areas of cognitive science. As part of a two-semester study project, they deal intensively with a research question and develop a solution approach, present and document it and gain valuable experience in independent project management under conditions that are common in professional scientific research at universities and in industry. The master's thesis, in which students can demonstrate their research competences in detail, takes place at the end of the course.
Students of the Master's degree programme in "Cognitive Science" in Osnabrück can apply for an international double degree programme in collaboration with the University of Trento/Rovereto (Italy). - Course Website

Another strong point of Osnabrück University is the scientifically based education and training of teachers for virtually all school types.
prepares graduates excellently for the national and international labor market
numerous cooperative agreements with businesses and institutions give students the opportunity to gain practical experience at an early stageInterdisciplinary researchThe outstanding research undertaken at the University is only possible due to close interdisciplinary cooperation:
- The AI Campus is the result of many years of specialization in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- The Center of Cellular Nanoanalytics Osnabrück (CellNanOs) interdisciplinary research center develops new approaches in modern cell biology.
- The Institute of Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) explores the aspects of spatial mobility and intercultural experiences.
- Early childhood education and development is addressed at the Center for Early Childhood Development and Education Research (CEDER) research center.
- A beacon of interdisciplinary cooperation is the Institute of Cognitive Science (IKW), which addresses issues of higher cognitive functions.
- At the Institute of Environmental Systems Research (USF), research is conducted on changes in environmental systems.
- The European Legal Studies Institute, one of Europe’s most important research facilities in the field of comparative law and the harmonization of law, is firmly anchored at Osnabrück University.
The “UOS 2020” concept for the future, featuring six key research strands, paves the way for the development of the University in years to come.
one of the University’s core tasks is to train and develop young scholars.
optimal student support is a priority for the university
