About us

Cognitive Science aims at describing and explaining the processes that underlie the acquisition and use of information by living organisms, especially humans, and other cognitive systems. It is an interdisciplinary science that includes research from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, mathematical modelling, linguistics and the social sciences.

CEU will offer, as to academic year 2011-12, a PhD program that will cover core topics in the study of cognition and will include a distinctive focus on the study of social cognition and cognitive social sciences, such as behavioural economics and cognitive anthropology.
