Programme profile


How can you drive a car by computer? How does a computer recognize speech or emotions? How can software and devices be aligned to the way humans think? In this programme, you will study intelligence and develop ‘intelligent’ and user-friendly products.

Artificial Intelligence draws on knowledge from various disciplines, such as cognitive psychology, linguistics, computing science, logic and philosophy. Combining elements from these strands knowledge often leads to new discoveries.

Programme content


In this programme, you learn to bridge the gap between technology, people and society. You consider the rules that provide the basis for human thought, artificial thought by robots or computers, as well as thought within social systems. Once you know the rules, you simulate them in a model and incorporate them into a system. You learn how to program and design. You develop a broad perspective and learn how to reason logically.

You focus on the four areas of artificial intelligence:

- cognitive ergonomics
- autonomous systems
- linguistics / speech technology
- knowledge technology

You also acquire insight into how we as people cope or fail to cope with computers and many other technologies.

Importantly, the programme has a very practical bias. The theory is always tested in hands-on practicals. It’s not just about thinking, but also about doing.
