Artificial Intelligence for Psychological Research Tilburg University

Overview

Acquire techniques such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and gain cross-disciplinary knowledge in computational psychology, statistical and research methodology, and behavioral and cognitive science. The theoretical insights and skills that you gain during the  Artificial Intelligence for Psychological Research program offered at  Tilburg University , enable you to understand human psychology in innovative, data-driven ways.

Program and courses

• You will study artificial intelligence as a tool to investigate and understand human behavior, rather than from a purely technical or engineering perspective.
• You will acquire a methodological and statistical understanding of the computational methods, enabling you to further develop and apply them.
• Cross-faculty collaboration: this program combines expertise from two Tilburg University faculties. Your lecturers are leading researchers in AI, cognitive science, methodology, and statistics, guiding you in developing advanced analytical and research skills.
• Data-driven, real-world research: core principle of the program is learning by doing. Part of the lectures take place in the lab facilities for robotics and avatars, serious games, natural language and data technologies, and virtual and mixed reality. From the start of your studies you are encouraged to contribute to faculty’s research.

Career prospects

As a graduate of the master Artificial Intelligence for Psychological Research, you are ready to understand, predict, and analyze human behavior in greater depth. Contribute to the development of technological and big data–driven behavioral applications, while critically reflecting on their implementation from cognitive and ethical perspectives. You will be equipped to continue to study behavioral developments in AI research and to drive innovation, both in academia and industry. There is a great demand for professionals with academic knowledge and skills related to AI and big data (behavioral) applications. Knowledge and skills in the field of AI are highly valued in a wide range of sectors,

Graduates work or start for example as:

• Behavioral (AI) scientist
• Policy analyst data-driven insights
• Researcher in computational social and behavioral sciences
