MA/MS in Applied Cognitive Neuroscience

This one-year master's programme prepares students to work as researchers in universities or companies, applying cognitive neuroscience to both fundamental and applied questions, including how to reduce cognitive errors and support human functioning. Topics studied include the use of eye-tracking measures such as pupil size in contexts like driving or operating machinery, and how computational models of memory can inform tools that support learning. Graduates gain skills for roles such as analysing human behavioural data, assessing the effectiveness of marketing, designing systems suited to human use, and evaluating and improving traffic safety.
