Did you already have an undergrad in CS? I recently completed a MS in cognitive science in Sweden. I have been drawn to AI research, but it seems that most work in AI these days is being done strictly in Comp Sci rather than Cog Sci, so a Ph.D. in AI is what I really want to do but appears to be out of reach for me because of what seems to be a bias against cog sci despite my interests, skills at research and writing, and my technical ability to do the work. I think there is a perception that cog sci is only about human intelligence, even though AI/comp sci was one of the primary fields of research of the co-founders of cog sci.
Anyway, I was thinking maybe I should do a comp sci masters so that I can move on to comp sci PhD and keep going with my research interests.
Did you do your degree in English or German? I live in Germany, but my German is not quite good enough for advanced academic instruction.
Well, congrats. I finished my MS at 44, though I did it full-time in person, which itself was a weird and fun experience at that age.
- Borrible 5y agoNo CS undergrad. And its a German degree. Sorry, the website is just in German: https://www.hochschule-trier.de/informatik/fernstudium/studium/masterfernstudium/mcsc-zulassung https://www.hochschule-trier.de/informatik/fernstudium/studi... There is at least one non CS undergrad path to a master in Germany through distance learning at the Fernuni-Hagen. Website also not in English: https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/mi/studium/msc_prinformatik/einstieg.shtml https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/mi/studium/msc_prinformatik/ein... And I seem to remember a study opportunity for a master in informatics for people with undergrad in humanities at the TU Chemnitz, when I looked back then. In presence not via distance learning, so there probably are more opportunities out there now.
