Course summary

Cognitive Science is the study of the mind and how it works to solve everyday tasks such as visual processing, reasoning, memory, problem-solving, language and communication. This programme focuses on both behavioural and computational aspects of cognitive science, giving you the opportunity to learn a range of skills and to explore different ways of studying the mind, from experiments with human participants to building computer simulations. Your courses will combine compulsory and option choices from informatics with a range of options chosen from psychology, linguistics, and philosophy. The programme will teach you mathematical and programming skills as well as a deeper understanding of computation, human mind and behaviour, and the links between natural and artificial intelligence.
