ABOUT
Studying in the Middle European interdisciplinary master’s programme in Cognitive Science program at the university of Vienna:
Cognitive science is an emerging interdisciplinary effort to study cognitive phenomena on various levels. A broad field of disciplines including philosophy, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, psychology, behavioural biology, anthropology, and others collaborate to tackle puzzling questions, such as:
- What is cognition?
- What is free will?
- What is the role of our bodies and the environment in cognition?
- How can I understand another person?
- Can we simulate our thinking on computers and/or in robots?
- Is there more to thinking and feelings than our neurons?
What is so special and unique about the Middle European interdisciplinary master’s programme in Cognitive Science (Mei:CogSci) is its radical interdisciplinary approach, manifesting itself in the structure of the curriculum and in the didactic principles (e.g. work in intercultural, interdisciplinary teams, phenomenologically oriented [vs. discipline-oriented] approach, etc.). Moreover, the programme’s international dimension results in a wide range of research opportunities.
