Explore the cutting edge of research into the nature of the mind and behaviour on this highly flexible course, in which philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology and artificial intelligence come together to discover how the mind works.
This programme provides you with an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge field of cognitive science, where philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology and artificial intelligence come together to discover how biological and artificial minds work. The programme also allows you to investigate how advances in artificial intelligence and advances in cognitive science can mutually inform our understanding of biological and artificial minds.
Whether you want to broaden or deepen your understanding of the subject, or are transitioning from another discipline, this degree will help you develop a deeper understanding of the mind, while enhancing your career prospects or preparing you for further study.
Our extensive range of optional modules will allow you to specialise in a particular area of cognitive science that interests you, or explore the discipline more broadly.
You’ll be based in the School of History, Philosophy and Digital Humanities, but are free to take relevant modules in psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, archaeology and music.
With an extensive programme of events and research seminars, excellent facilities and a large community of expert cognitive scientists working across the University, Sheffield is an exceptional place to study this exciting field.
Our MA is designed both to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD (as many do), while also equipping you with the relevant skills and knowledge in cognitive science, philosophy and AI, to enhance your career prospects outside of academia.
Intercalation We accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies. Find out more about intercalated degrees at the School of Medicine and Population Health.
