Cognitive Science - Bachelor's Degree

In the Cognitive Science programme, you are introduced to fundamental theories of cognition. You learn how to design and carry out your own investigations of the human mind, brain and behaviour. Among other things, you will learn about statistical data analysis and computer programming, which will enable you to carry out your own experimental studies and to critically assess previous research results.

Studying Cognitive Science
Courses consist of lectures and classroom instruction, where you participate in discussions, make presentations and work with your study group. You will also be doing practical lab exercises where you collect and analyse data from brain scans, behavioural experiments and large text databases. The programme introduces you to experimental design and statistics, cognitive neuroscience as well as cognitive approaches to communication and culture. The degree programme is conducted in English to promote an international study environment and prepare students for an international labour market.

Can you measure a thought?In the course of your studies, you learn about the fundamental cognitive processes that underlie our conscious and unconscious perceptions and actions. You learn about how humans make decisions, and how we use language to communicate, share feelings and interact with others. This requires knowledge about relevant scientific theories as well as specific practical tools. You will thus learn computer programming (e.g. Python) and advanced tools for statistical data analysis (e.g. R and MatLab) which you will use in your own experimental investigations of human cognition and behavior.
