Students & Candidates
We encourage you to study Cognitive Science Master in English at our Faculty. The basic requirement for enrollment in a master’s degree program in CS is a completed bachelor’s degree (or any equivalent basic university degree). Candidates are selected on the basis of the diploma grade competition.
Candidates who have a BA in cognitive science, biology, computer science, psychology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics with a diploma grade not lower than 4.0 (B) receive the maximum score).
If the number of candidates with the maximum score exceeds 25, the average from studies will be additionally taken into account.
The M.A. in Cognitive Science at Nicolaus Copernicus University offers a unique opportunity to explore the nature of the human mind through an interdisciplinary lens. The program integrates insights from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and linguistics, equipping students with both theoretical understanding and practical research skills.
It is designed for students who are curious about how we think, learn, perceive, and communicate — and who want to combine empirical research with conceptual reflection. The program fosters critical and creative thinking, data-driven reasoning, and collaboration in international academic environments.
Learning Outcomes
After completing the program, graduates will be able to:
- Integrate methods from neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence to study cognition.
- Design and analyze interdisciplinary research projects.
- Apply cognitive science principles in education, technology, and social innovation.
- Communicate scientific ideas clearly to diverse audiences.
- Collaborate effectively in international research environments.
Join a community of researchers exploring the future of mind and cognition.
