MSc Cognitive and Decision Sciences

This program studies the cognitive processes underlying human thought and decision making. Key topics include: probabilistic models of the mind; the nature of computational explanation; general principles of cognition; the scope of rational choice models; learning and memory; applications to economics and business.

It draws on an outstanding faculty at Birkbeck and UCL, including internationally renowned researchers in psychology, computational modeling, neuroscience and economics. It also takes full advantage of London’s unique position as a global “hot-spot” for research in cognition, decision-making, and neuroscience, with a high density of research seminars and scientific meetings. 

The course is suitable for students from a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, economics, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science and statistics.
