Master Sciences cognitives - Parcours : Sciences Cognitives et Société / Cognitive Science and Society

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 Cognitive Science and Society

The Cognitive Sciences and Society track explores human cognitive processes and social dynamics within our society. It offers an interdisciplinary approach, combining all the disciplines of the cognitive sciences (psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, AI…) as well as other fields that can feed or be fed by the cognitive sciences (design, urbanism…). This course provides a solid methodological and theoretical background, with an emphasis on the concrete applications and reflections of cognitive science in fields such as education, health, ecological transition and public policy. This training enables critical and in-depth analysis of societal issues in the light of evidence-based data, and to provide scientifically valid and/or informed solutions within an ethical framework.
