Programme Description

The Master of Science in Cognitive Neuroscience is a 2-year postgraduate programme that aims to train students with innovative approaches for inspecting brain functions in terms of neurolinguistics, neuroeducation, neuroeconomics, neuroimaging, brain-inspired intelligence, etc. and promote translating discoveries into solutions for health and society. It works to train cognitive neuroscientists and professionals to deeply understand and integrate interdisciplinary research findings, perspectives, and tools for the study of mind, brain and behavior.

The MSc programme is intended for students who wish to study cognitive processes based on their underlying neural systems. There are two broad knowledge that can be taken – one is behavioral experiments and the other is computational modeling. In both, the goal is to understand the nature of cognition from a neural perspective.
