Prerequisites

Applicants with a Bachelor degree (or a comparable degree) in Cognitive Science can be admitted to the Cognitive Science Master's Program at Osnabrück University.

Applicants with a Bachelor degree (or comparable degree) in a related field, such as the life sciences, computational linguistics or linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, medicine, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology or a field with a high degree of information technology content may also apply to the Master's program. The admission board decides on a case-by-case basis whether or not such an applicant can be admitted to the Master's Program. A Bachelor's degree in a related field does not automatically make an applicant eligible for being admitted to the Master's program.

Applicants are required to have a good command of English in order to understand lectures, participate in discussions, and take examinations. Applicants can demonstrate that they have attained level B2 in the English language according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) in the following ways:

  • the relevant level of English proficiency was already an admission requirement for the earlier Bachelor’s degree, or
  • the applicant has already successfully completed an English-language undergraduate or graduate degree program, or
  • English was the language of the education system of the applicant at the time they earned their higher education entrance qualification, or
  • the applicant has passed a language test at level B2 (CEFR) (for possible language tests and the corresponding points required, see: language certificates at Osnabrueck University (opens in a new tab)).
