Cognitive Science

Cognitive science is concerned with the study of human cognition: the processes of perception, cognition, thinking, knowledge representation, learning, and decision-making, and how these processes are implemented in the brain. It is characterized by interdisciplinarity – the combined use of knowledge and methods of various participating disciplines – as well as psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy and other fields. This unique study programme is a result of a common and coordinated project of five Central European universities: University of Vienna (in collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna), University in Ljubljana, University in Zagreb, Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, and Comenius University in Bratislava. This programme is one of the few successfully developing multilateral master programmes in the Central European context. Its interdisciplinary and international character significantly increases the potential of graduates on domestic and international labour markets.
