The MSc Cognitive Science suits those interested in issues relating to the rich questions about the human mind from philosophical, psychological, and computational perspectives. Advanced computational skills are not a prerequisite. The course is designed as a suitable preparation for those wishing to progress to research, e.g. at PhD level.
You will have the opportunity to be familiar with the problems arising in the description of minds, brains, and behaviour and the theoretical approaches to them, know the principal 20th Century philosophical approaches to mind, brain and body, understand the concepts employed in cognitive psychology, along with their limitations, and develop an interdisciplinary perspective that links and integrates insights from multiple specialised domains.
Further information is available on the course website.
Unique taught offering providing advanced material in psychology, philosophy of mind, computational modeling, neuropsychology, and more
Ideal preparation for future PhD studies tackling interdisciplinary topics
Includes a substantial research project, conducted largely during the Summer months
