Course programme

This degree has been specifically developed to take graduates from a wide range of backgrounds and critically introduce them to classical computational models of cognition and artificial intelligence in the context of a broad exploration of radical new theoretical approaches, characterised by their emphasis on embodiment, enactivism and European phenomenology.

After taking a core course covering the history of cognitive science, you pursue one of two pathways, specialising in either the psychological or technological aspects of cognitive science. The former focuses on the experimental investigation of cognition, and covers issues fundamental to developments in understanding the neuropsychology of normal and abnormal human functioning. The latter pathway provides an introduction to the ideas and techniques of artificial intelligence, and covers the theory and practice of neural computation. You also choose between units that give you an introduction either to the object-orientated approach to the design and implementation of software systems, or to qualitative research methods, critical analysis and research design. You undertake an empirical piece of research leading to a large project.
