Overview

Advances in biology and neuroscience show how our brains and cognitive development are shaped by learning experiences and the environment.

The Science (Science of Learning) course offered by Nanyang Technological University is a distinctive interdisciplinary programme where students will acquire a strong foundation in science of learning, and learn how the latest advancements in neuroscience, cognitive science, and technologies bear on fundamental questions of education--how people learn and the tools we can use to optimise learning.

Unique Feature

An important and critical value-added component of this programme is the synergistic partnership between the National Institute of Education (NIE), with its recognised capacity and expertise to impact educational research and practice, and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), with deep expertise in biological domains and cognitive neuroscience. Theoretical insights from both the education and neuroscience fields will foster the critical scientific discussions necessary for evidence-informed Science of Learning (SoL) education enriched by cross-disciplinary integration.
