MPhil Cognitive Science

UK

2

What will I learn?

Explore the nature of cognition in humans, animals and machines. Work across disciplines to understand how natural and artificial cognition emerges. Are you interested in the nature of cognition, be it natural or artificial? Our pioneering, interdisciplinary approach brings together faculty and research students from artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience and philosophy – you’ll find Sussex a great place for your research in cognitive science. Spirit of Sussex Award Feel involved in life at the University, make friends and enrich your experience with us – the Spirit of Sussex Award is our way of recognising your extracurricular and voluntary achievements. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
