Learning with a research community
The programme draws on UPF’s Center for Brain and Cognition, whose interests include computational and cognitive neuroscience, language, vision, perception and development. Students join a research line for their final project.
It could suit someone who enjoys turning a broad question into an experiment or analysis. Explore the research groups before applying and consider which methods you would like to practise. Reading a recent paper can also give you something concrete to discuss with a potential supervisor.
Εφαρμογή
UPF accepts applications from graduates across academic fields. The published requirements include a qualifying university degree, transcript, an English CV, a 600–800-word motivation letter, two recommendations and B2 English evidence or an approved exemption. Research interests and preparation matter when explaining why the course fits your plans.
