MSc Cognition and Computation

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

Aimed at graduates of either the computational sciences or the psychological sciences, the MSc in Cognition and Computation is an ideal foundation for a research career in the cognitive sciences. It studies the cognitive processes and representations underlying human thought, knowledge, and behavior, and integrates a wide range of disciplines and methodologies with the core assumption that human cognition is a computational process, implemented in neural hardware. Key topics include the nature of computational explanation; general principles of cognition; methodology of computational modeling; theories of cognitive architecture; symbol systems; connectionism; neural computation; and case studies in computational cognitive modeling. The program will give you intensive training in experimental design and methodology. You will build computational models and carry out a substantial piece of original research. Graduates go on to careers in psychology, research sciences, and other disciplines in which computer simulation is used. Possible professions include psychologists or scientific researchers. This degree can also be useful within the field of visual science or in becoming a higher education lecturer.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related discipline.
