2/24/23, 7:06 PM MSc Cognitive Science - Programme Details

 This programme is intended for applicants with a degree in computer science, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, neuroscience or a other related
discipline. More important than the name of the primary degree is that applicants must display an awareness of the interdisciplinary challenges of
cognitive science, and be prepared to engage with those challenges through earnest and open questioning. Please note that many psychology
undergraduate programmes do not provide this kind of interdisciplinary sensitivity.  An upper second class honours or the international equivalent
is required. 
   Applicants whose first language is not English must also demonstrate English language proficiency of IELTS 6.5 (no band less than 6.0 in each
element), or equivalent, such as TOEFL (iBT) score of 90 or PTE score of 63. Visit the UCD Admissions website

for further details.  

Testimonial 

Graduate Profile
Eileen Wahl, Kentucky, USA
I felt that I really grew as a scientist by being able to critique other people’s papers and to think about those issues when I am doing my own science work.
I would certainly recommend this programme to international students as you get to meet people from all different countries.
