Students of Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience at Jacobs University receive an education that covers modern aspects of these continuously challenging and fascinating disciplines. The major is characterized by a broad range of courses with a focus on both scientific and clinical aspects of Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience. Thus, students are able to understand biological systems and human behavior from the structural, functional, and physiological side.
In the first two years, students take a broad range of natural science courses and other electives. Third year students pursue guided research on experimental and theoretical problems in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.
Cross-disciplinary in nature and taught in-depth, students develop skills that help them solve problems - also in areas remote from their own majors. Students, thus, learn to adapt their knowledge and expertise to a variety of tasks. This is a valuable asset in a student’s future career.
Education at Jacobs University is structured according to the belief that problem-solving is most successful where several disciplines are considered to develop one approach.
Therefore, Jacobs University’s students do not only gain credits in courses of their field of study but also by taking so-called “transdisciplinary courses”. This means the main component contains mandatory and elective courses in the home school – the School of Engineering and Science (SES). The missing credits (up to 40) can be collected from a variety of courses:
* “Other School Courses”, i.e. not offered by the home school: courses of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS)
* Language courses
* University Study Courses (USC): lectures on different topics that are related to either one of the schools or that form a connection between both.
In addition, students can select Master courses whose credits are fully accounted to their Bachelor.
Especially Jacobs University’s science programs are very research-oriented and undergraduate students have the chance to gain practical experience in the modern and well equipped laboratories on campus.
The program Cognitve Psychology and Neuroscience is offered by both schools (SES and SHSS), therefore courses of both schools count as "Other School Electives".
