Cognitive Science.....

...is the interdisciplinary study of minds, brains and behaviour. Many disciplines contribute to this overarching goal, including, but not restricted to, Psychology, Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Neuroscience, Linguistics, and Anthropology.

At University College Dublin, we offer a one year taught masters degree in Cognitive Science, as well as degrees of M.Sc. and Ph.D. by research. Here you will find information about the taught programme, research degrees, and associated schools and staff.

Cognitive Science is normally taught at the postgraduate level. However we also provide an undergraduate module entitled "COMP 20090: An Introduction to Cognitive Science", taught in the Spring semester. For details, click on "Undergraduate" in the above menu bar.


Important note

The Cognitive Science programme at UCD is not part of any clinical training programme, and is not designed with a clinical progression in mind. If you seek a clinical career in psychology, you should read what the Psychological Society of Ireland has to say.
