Master Sciences cognitives - Parcours : Philosophie / Philosophy

General cog-SUP organization

The master’s student must register to one of the tracks. These tracks ensure the acquisition of genuine expertise in the concepts, methods, and techniques specific to each discipline, enhancing the clarity of skills associated with the diploma. The program establishes a common cultural foundation from the first year (M1) through a core curriculum and introductory courses to the different disciplines. In the second year (M2), the majority of courses are fully interdisciplinary and open to students from all tracks. Our goal is to cultivate cognitivists equipped with both robust disciplinary expertise and a broad interdisciplinary culture, essential elements for fostering meaningful collaboration across disciplines.

Specific to the track Philosophy

The philosophy track proposes a balanced program, based on solid disciplinary foundations (in ethics, logic, epistemology, philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of biology), while also providing cutting-edge knowledge in the main fields of cognitive science (automatic language processing, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience and AI).

In addition to content-based courses, we offer the opportunity to acquire skills in data processing (data camp, programming), experimental methods and neuroimaging.

Our students can complete a laboratory internship if they wish to carry out an interdisciplinary project with an experimental aspect, or write a philosophical dissertation, in both their first and second years.

Graduates of this program can pursue a doctorate in cognitive science, philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophy of science, or move into the many careers where the argumentative and experimental skills we impart are valued.
