The MA in Philosophy of Cognitive Science is a one year programme which aims to foster the study of foundational issues in cognitive science and computer modelling. It is designed for students with a background in Philosophy, although offers may be made to exceptional students with backgrounds in other disciplines related to cognitive science. The MA programme is based in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences, which provides a highly active and interdisciplinary environment involving linguists, cognitive psychologists, philosophers and AI researchers. Research undertaken in the school ranges from highly practical applications of new ideas in computing, to the most abstract philosophical issues concerning the foundations of cognitive science. The school attracts large numbers of research fellows and distinguished academic visitors.
Interdisciplinary dialogue is encouraged by several weekly research seminars.
