Intelligent Technology (specialisation)

Entry requirements

A completed Bachelor's degree

A completed Bachelor's degree (this does not include a Bachelor’s from a University of Applied Science, in Dutch HBO) in Artificial Intelligence or a related programme with a comparable content that sufficiently prepares for an advanced master program in AI. An acceptable applicant should have some knowledge of Computer Science (in particular sufficient programming experience and software development experience, about 15-24 EC), Artificial Intelligence techniques (search/planning/representation algorithms, machine learning, reasoning under uncertainty, neural networks, logics, and robotics, about 36-42 EC), Mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, statistics, about 15-18 EC), and some Cognitive Science (e.g. cognitive psychology or cognitive neuroscience).

Proficiency in English

In order to take part in this programme, you need to have fluency in both written and spoken English.This requirement has been satisfied when the student meets the conditions, listed on our website.

Course content

Developing intelligent machines and new ways for humans and machines to interact, as well as understanding cognition through human behavior.

In the Intelligent Technology track of the Master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence, we concentrate on techniques in the broad field of communication and interaction between multiple intelligent agents (be they natural or artificial—and physical, or virtual) with a special focus on language. We address theoretical problems such as: How language can arise and evolve in communities of intelligent agents? and How can an understanding of language and communication can be used to improve the interactions between intelligent agents? One particular application area we focus on is how to use artificial intelligence techniques to better understand and improve interactions between agents—be they chatbots, people, or robots.

What will you learn?

• This specialisation combines language psychology, communcation and computer modeling.
• Study advanced data analysis and AI methods and their application in the field of communication
• Learn how to build artificial agents that interact with physical and social environment
• Gain an understanding of human cognition and along with the societal and ethical impacts of its use

*This is a specialisation of the Master's in Artificial Intelligence

Something for you?

· You will study advanced AI methods and artifacts that can make a crucial difference for human well-being, such as neurotechnology, brain-computer-interfaces, speech recognition, and vision and auditory prosthetics.

· You will learn about the societal impact of AI and learn to understand ethical considerations with respect to AI.

· This specialisation focuses on the application of AI techniques and principles in healthcare, assistive technology, human-robot interaction, and other application areas.

· You will work with stakeholders and companies on actual problems for which novel solutions are sought.

· You can combine this specialisation with another related programme, for example the Master's specialisation Data Science, and apply for an exemption of 60ECs.

Career opportunities

Our Artificial Intelligence graduates have excellent job prospects and are often offered a job before they have actually graduated. Many of our graduates go on to do a PhD either at a major research institute or university with an AI department. Other graduates work for companies interested in cognitive design and research. Some students have even gone on to start their own companies. Possible occupations include data scientist, PhD researcher, developer, AI & health specialist and AI ethical consultant and advisor.
