Key Summary

    About : The MSc in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience explores the intersection of neuroscience and computational modeling. Students develop skills in data analysis, machine learning, and cognitive modeling, preparing them for advanced research. The program typically spans one year and offers a blend of theoretical study and practical application through projects and collaborative work.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in various fields, including data science, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience research. Additional paths may include roles in software development and academic positions, where skills in computational methods can significantly contribute to advancements in cognitive understanding and technology development.

This Masters programme will foster a new generation of scientists who will be trained in both neuro-computational modelling as well as cognitive neuroscience. Its core topics include:

  • Creating computational/mathematical models of neurons, circuits and cognitive functions.
  • The fundamentals of cognitive neuroscience (brain mechanisms and structures underlying cognition and behaviour).
  • Advanced data analysis and neuroimaging techniques.

The programme is suitable for students from a variety of disciplines including – but not limited to – psychology, computing, neuroscience, engineering, biology, maths and physics. Students with no prior programming experience are welcome.

Graduates of this Master's will acquire a unique set of complementary skills that will make them extremely competitive in securing research or analyst positions in both academia and industry.
