The dual-major undergraduate program in psychology and cognition with a specialization in brain sciences.

The undergraduate program in Cognitive Sciences allows students to integrate various perspectives and research regarding mental processes including learning, memory, language, decision-making, creativity, emotions, and more. The subjects studied in the degree include research methods and findings rooted in several key areas: psychology and the study of mental processes and their behavioral expression; computer science and computational aspects of intelligent systems; brain sciences and the biological, physiological, and anatomical aspects of human behavior and the brain networks that underlie them; philosophy and the study of concepts such as mental representation, consciousness, and semantic content; and the study of language as a cognitive system. The program aims to train experts with a broad knowledge base and rich, creative thinking. Graduates of the program are expected to continue in advanced studies in specific fields in the cognitive sciences (such as cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, computer science, philosophy of mind, artificial intelligence, linguistics) as well as in interdisciplinary programs (such as brain and behavior studies, brain and psychopathology, or cognitive sciences). The goal of the program is to provide graduates with a broad knowledge base in cognitive sciences and to develop interdisciplinary thinking already during the undergraduate studies. The main emphasis of the curriculum is to enable complex and diverse thinking, which will assist in successful integration into academia and industry in the future.
