Brain and Cognition Pompeu Fabra University

Overview

Brain and Cognition at Pompeu Fabra University is to the advent of revolutionary brain research methods, great progress in behavioural research techniques and the incredible inventiveness of many researchers, cognitive and neural sciences are finding ways to better approach this problem. 

The master's programme in Brain and Cognition will guide students through the latest and most exciting findings brought about by the interaction between cognitive research and brain research, furnishing them with the theoretical and practical means to actively participate in this exciting enterprise.

Who is it for?

The master's programme will be of interest to psychologists, philosophers, MDs, biologists, linguists, mathematicians or physicists seeking to pursue a career investigating the fascinating question of how the relationship between the mind and the brain enables cognitive functions. 

While the programme is thus particularly apt for students who want to be trained to do research in cognitive neuroscience, it is also strongly recommended for individuals seeking to enrich their careers by obtaining a solid basis in cognitive neuroscience. 

Given its research orientation, the level of this one-year master's programme corresponds to the second year of a two-year master's in other international programmes. 

Students who are interested in the programme but do not have sufficient credits to enrol in a second-year master should contact the coordinator for further information.
