Program Overview
The MSc Cognitive Science program at University College Dublin is a one-year full-time or two-year part-time program that suits those interested in issues relating to the human mind from philosophical, psychological, and computational perspectives. It is designed as a suitable preparation for those wishing to progress to research, such as at the PhD level.
Entry Requirements:
This programme is intended for applicants with a degree in computer science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience or a other related discipline. More important than the name of the primary degree is that applicants must display an awareness of the interdisciplinary challenges of cognitive science, and be prepared to engage with those challenges through earnest and open questioning. An upper second class honours or the international equivalent is required.
Language Proficiency Requirements:
Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each element), or equivalent, such as TOEFL (iBT) score of 90 or PTE score of 63.
