Advances in biology and neuroscience show how our brains and cognitive development are shaped by learning experiences and the environment. The Master of Science in Science of Learning (MSL) is a distinctive interdisciplinary programme where students will acquire a strong foundation in science of learning, and learn how the latest advancements in neuroscience, cognitive science, and technologies bear on fundamental questions of education--how people learn and the tools we can use to optimise learning.
Students will have excellent opportunities to design progressive learning solutions and new experiences to meet Singapore’s smart and future-ready workforce.
