Cognitive and Brain Sciences are interdisciplinary field with applications in a number of fields like medical neuroscience, neural prosthetics, development of Artificial Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning, Behavioral Economics, and NeuroMarketing. The objective of the Master\u2019s program in Cognitive Science is to offer students from different backgrounds, access to a breadth of knowledge and research techniques in a wide range of areas in Cognitive and Brain Sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program will follow a structure of four semesters with a total of eighty credits required for graduation. The basic framework of the curriculum includes core courses, electives, and a research project. The program places a strong emphasis on both – coursework and a research project.<\/span><\/p>\n
