The Cognitive Science program is designed to complement a school-based major sequence by grouping courses within the fields of Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics and Computer Science, which have a special relevance to Cognitive Science. It provides the opportunity for students who undertake one or more of the relevant Level 1 courses in the relevant disciplines to become acquainted with the broader enterprise of Cognitive Science through participation in the core course (HPSC2610 Computers, Brains and Minds), and to build upon that acquaintance in selecting further courses from the program. Students should take the core course in their second year of study.

Entry to the program requires 12 units of credit from the Level 1 prerequisite courses listed below. A major in Cognitive Science requires not less than 24 units of credit from the Upper Level courses listed in the program, including the core course. If you wish to major in Coginitve Science, these Upper Level courses may not be counted toward a major sequence in a School or Department. In planning your program for the degree, you should make sure that you meet the prerequisite requirements of individual courses, unless granted exemption by the course authority.
