Cognitive Science is the study of the human mind and how it shapes and is shaped by our experiences and interactions. In the Cognitive Science program, you will learn about the basic cognitive processes underlying our conscious and unconscious perceptions and actions, how we make decisions, and how we use language to communicate and interact socially with others. As a student of Cognitive Science, you will be introduced to foundational theories of cognition, and you will learn how design and carry out your own investigations of the human mind, the brain, and human behavior. The study program includes introductions to experimental design and statistics, cognitive neuroscience, consciousness, and cognitive approaches to communication and culture. The program is taught in English to promote an international study environment, and to prepare you for the international job market.

Come to u-days and hear more about the bachelor’s degree program in Cognitive Science! We ask you to join us Thursday or Friday where you will be able to learn more about what it means to study Cognitive Science at Aarhus University.
You will hear presentations from the student counselor, from one of the professors, and from current students. You will also get to see and participate in some of the experiments, which current students have conducted in the course of their study and see what coding entails in the Cognitive Science program. The student counselor will tell you about what the Cognitive Science program entails, the admission requirements and future prospects, while the professor will tell you about Cognitive Science as a whole. Lastly, current students will tell you about their experience as a Cognitive Science student.
13.00 – 13.40: What is Cognitive Science, and what are some examples of future jobs?
Student counselor Sofie Louise Holmgaard Frandsen will give you an overview of what Cognitive Science is, and what Cognitive Science students study and how. You will also learn what the admission requirements are, and what jobs could be possible with Cognitive Science.
13.40 – 14.10: What is the idea behind Cognitive Science?
As one of the professors who established Aarhus University’s Cognitive Science degree, Joshua Skewes will give you an overview of the courses and tell you about Cognitive Science from a real-world perspective.
14.10 – 14.25: Break
14.25 – 15.30: What are some of the skills that Cognitive Science students gain?
A considerable part of the Cognitive Science program consists of learning how to conduct experimental research and statistically analyze data. Current students will show you some of the experiments they have created and conducted during their time at Cognitive Science where you will get to be “guinea pigs” and test their experiments, and you will also be introduced to the kind of coding and statistical analyses that are used in Cognitive Science in a demonstration.
15.30 – 15.45: What is it like to study Cognitive Science?
A couple of current students will tell you about their experience as a student at Cognitive Science and at Aarhus University.
15.45 – 16.00: Questions and wrap-up
