The Research Master in Brain and Cognitive Sciences is an ambitious, two-year programme that is unique in its interdisciplinary perspective on cognition and neuroscience. The programme examines cognition from the level of molecules up to the behaviour and cognition, and from experiment to computation and modelling. The programme features contributions from ABC members including psychologists, neurobiologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, behavioural economists, logicians and linguists.
The Research Master’s programme has its official publication: the ABC Journal, a student-led initiative sharing original scientific content about the fields of neuroscience and cognitive science.
Every year the Research Master Brain and Cognitive Sciences organises an international two-week Summer School around a timely topic in the research field of Brain and Cognition. The Summer School is open for students of this master, as well as for national and international students of similar master programmes.
The Summer School closes with the annual ABC Symposium, which is organized around the same topic as the Summer School. During this symposium, the Annual Honorary Frijda Chair is awarded to an outstanding, interdisciplinary researcher in the field of brain and cognitive sciences.
