Bachelor’s Degree

The academic framework is a double major format. The students’ second major would be related to cognitive and brain science: Psychology, Philosophy, Linguistics and languages, Computer Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, Musicology, Statistics and Economics. The duration of studies is three years.

The academic program is based on three main principles:

  1. Comprehensive fundamental studies in each of the main areas constituting cognitive science: Psychology, linguistics, philosophy and logic, computation and cognition, and brain and cognition.
  2. Specialized studies in one area. This area would be one of those detailed above.

Interdisciplinary studies in courses such as language and thinking, thought and computers, neural computation, and musical cognition, highlighting the importance of the integration of knowledge and different methods in cognitive research.
