Overview

In the first year at Cognitive Sciences - Cognition and the Mind, you will acquire a strong foundation in the methods and topics in cognitive sciences. During an intensive introductory course, you will be able to choose different taught elements to complement your specific background and knowledge based on your undergraduate degree. Subsequent innovative courses and modules will provide you with theoretical and methodological knowledge and skills in an interdisciplinary setting.

Building on this foundation, in the second year you will work closely with a supervisor of your choosing and will design and conduct your own research project. Your growth into an independent and well-rounded researcher will be complemented by carrying out a science communication project related to your research topic as well as actively participating in interdisciplinary research discussions.
