Cognitive Science

专业介绍

The Master’s degree programme in Cognitive Science offers an in-depth study of how processes in the brain shape human behaviour. 

You will use advanced statistical methods and experimental techniques to investigate these processes, enabling you to expand your knowledge of human thinking and behaviour and apply this knowledge in practice.  

Throughout the programme, you will build a theoretical understanding of the human brain and human cognitive function, and you will learn to use this understanding to solve real-world problems. 

You will acquire the skills to develop your own computational and statistical models of cognitive processes, and you will learn how to analyse large and complex datasets. In addition, you will be equipped to use experimental tools such as functional brain imaging and eye-tracking technology to measure human behaviour. 

One degree, many career paths 

With a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science, you will gain a highly sought-after profile and open the door to a wide range of career opportunities. 

Among other things, you may work with human decision-making and consumer cognition, data analysis, the development and design of information technology, human sensation and perception, as well as research and development within the cognitive and behavioural sciences.
