The programme is organized by the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), an interdisciplinary institute with members from computer science, philosophy, cognitive science, (computational) linguistics and mathematics. The MSc programme reflects these interdisciplinary aspects. Students enter with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, computer science, AI or other neighbouring fields. Students can choose one of four specialisations: (*) Logic and Mathematics (*) Logic and Computation (*) Logic and Philosophy (*) Logic and Language Students can thus keep in touch with their original major while simultaneously enjoying common goals and interests with students from a wide variety of backgrounds. ---Student profile--- The student should be fluent in formal reasoning. Students must demonstrate affinity with mathematical thinking and some familiarity with mathematical proofs. Students with a European bachelor in mathematics, computer science, philosophy or linguistics will be accepted automatically. Other students will be judged according to their academic record and motivation. Motivated students with an excellent academic record may request waivers, which could enable them to finish the programme in one year. ---Tuition fee 2004--- (*) EU/EEA students: EUR 1,476 (*) Non EU/EEA students: EUR 4,500 ---English proficiency--- (*) minimum TOEFL score: 550 (213 for the computer based test) ---Application--- Please contact the programme manager or visit the programme webpage for an application form.
