*Master and PhD programs related to Cognitive Science*

### You don't know what to do after getting your CogSci degree?

You will find
- **Master's programs**
- **PhD programs** (you can start some right after getting your Bachelor degree!)
- and some **companies** interested in hiring CogScis.

here.

### You found a cool thing to do for people with a Cognitive Science degree?

- Add it to our list!
- [A relevant link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) is sufficient, but feel free to add everything useful, e.g. the language of instruction
- Check for duplicates :)

### Lübeck

[**M.Sc. Entrepreneurship in digitalen Technologien**](https://www.uni-luebeck.de/studium/studiengaenge/entrepreneurship-in-digitalen-technologien.html)

- Language of instruction: German (ein paar Wahlpflichtkurse können auf English sein)
- Hochschule: Universität zu Lübeck, Institut für Entrepreneurship und Business Development
- Start: Sowohl zum *WiSe* als auch zum *SoSe* möglich.
- Zulassungsvoraussetzungen (Stand 2024):
- Bachelorabschluss in einem Informatik- oder informatik-nahen Studiengang (Cognitive Science zählt dazu, solange man genügend Erfahrungen im Informatik-Bereich gesammelt hat; es gibt jedoch *keine* harten Vorgaben, z.B. wie viele ECTS Informatikkurse ausmachen müssen)
- Abschluss des Erststudiums mit einer Gesamtnote von mindestens 2,7
- Motivation(sschreiben)
- Ausreichende Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache (internationale Studierende müssen dies evtl. nachweisen)
- Fachliche Ausrichtung:
- Offiziell handelt es sich um einen Informatik-Master mit Wirtschaftswissenschaften als Nebenfach.
- Der *informatisch-technische* Bereich besteht aus einem 6 ECTS Pflichtkurs (es kann aus zwei Kursen gewählt werden) und Wahlpflicht-Kursen im Umfang von 36 ECTS. Die Wahlpflichtkurse können sehr frei aus den Master-Kursen der verschiedenen Informatik-Institute der Universität gewählt werden (IT-Sicherheit, Informationssysteme, Robotik & Kognitive Systeme, Medieninformatik, Medizinische Informatik / Medizintechnik, Technische Informatik, Theoretische Informatik, Telematik).
- Der *wirtschaftswissenschaftliche* Bereich besteht aus Pflichtkursen im Umfang von 44 ECTS mit Fokus auf Intra- und Entrepreneurship sowie Technologie- und Innovationsmanagement.

> Sollte man die formalen Zulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen, ist es sehr sicher, dass man auch einen Platz erhält, weil aufgrund von wenigen Bewerbungen i.d.R. nie alle Studienplätze vergeben werden.
>
> Allgemein lässt sich sagen, dass die Atmosphäre am Institut sehr familiär ist. Trotzdem kann man viele tolle Leute kennenlernen, da man die meisten Kurse mit verschiedenen Informatikstudierenden, Studierenden der Technischen Hochschule oder anderen zusammen belegt. Besonders wenn man daran interessiert ist, das innovative CogSci-Denken in die Wirtschaft zu bringen (z.B. in Form eines Start-Ups), ist der Studiengang sehr empfehlenswert. Dazu kommt, dass Lübeck als Weltkulturerbe- und Hansestadt auch einiges außerhalb der Uni zu bieten hat.
