First program of its kind, accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, the 2-year Master’s in Collective Intelligence empowers students to understand how people think together — and to design systems where collaboration becomes a driving force for innovation.
Combining cognitive science, computer science, data science, and collaborative leadership, the program equips future changemakers with the skills to facilitate effective teamwork and guide collective decision-making. Students learn to test, measure, and enhance collaborative processes using experimental and statistical methods, applying them directly in research and real-world projects.
Graduates emerge ready to build intelligent organizations, lead impactful initiatives, and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Join us in driving and shaping the future of collective intelligence!

- Masters students in Collective Intelligence will learn to think critically and scientifically about data, human behavior, and practical problems such as leading positive behavior change within teams, organizations and communities.
- They will learn how to carefully design behavioral experiments and randomized controlled studies, in which experimenters manipulate variables between experimental conditions in order to infer causal information about how the mind works and/or the effectiveness of certain interventions within organizations.
- In addition, students will develop technical skills in the areas of data science, statistics and computer science (such as designing computer systems to augment and complement collective reasoning and problem-solving). And they will gain experience designing and applying technologies that reinforce collective intelligence in real-world settings.

At the end of the second year, students will undertake a 6-month internship, acquainting themselves with the job market, and new areas of research. The objective is to apply and specialize in the fields studied during the Master.
Interest in collective intelligence is on the rise in corporations, universities, and societies at large. Many popular master and bachelor degrees train students in the disciplines we focus on – such as a Master in Organizational Psychology at Harvard, or the popular ‘Psychology, Politics and Economics’ degree at Oxford.
The Master in Collective Intelligence includes many of the basic issues studied in such degrees, but with a focus on the emerging discipline of CI. This education prepares students for a range of professional opportunities in the academic, private, public, and non-profit sectors. Based on the track of specialization, students will develop a range of technical and human skills that qualify them for positions as :
- Computer and data scientists, who can understand human perception, manage, and lead organizations.
- Researchers, who can lead sustainable developpement projects or persue academic carreers. .
- Facilitators or organizational transformation specialists, who use insights from data and cognitive sciences to understand human behavior.
Moreover, we provide substantial networking opportunities so that motivated students come out prepared to thrive in a fast-changing job market.
