The Cognitive Science Research Centre at the University of Birmingham
comprises staff from the Departments/Schools of Psychology, Computer
Science, Philosophy and Linguistics, and supports teaching and
research in the inter-disciplinary investigation of mind and
cognition. The Centre offers both MSc and PhD programmes.
MSc in Cognitive Science
The MSc programme is a 12 month conversion course, including a 4 month
supervised project. The course places a particular stress on the
relation between biological and computational architectures.
Compulsory courses: AI Programming, Overview of Cognitive
Science, Knowledge Representation Inference and Expert Systems,
General Linguistics, Human Information Processing, Structures for Data
and Knowledge, Philosophical Questions in Cognitive Science,
Human-Computer Interaction, Biological and Computational
Architectures, The Computer and the Mind, Current Issues in Cognitive
Science.
Option courses: Artificial and Natural Perceptual Systems,
Speech and Natural Language, Parallel Distributed Processing.
It is expected that students will have a good degree in
psychology, computing, philosophy or linguistics.
Funding is available through SERC and HTNT.
PhD in Cognitive Science
For 1991 there are 3 SERC studentships available for PhD level
research into a range of topics including:
o computational modelling of emotion
o computational modelling of cognition
o interface design
o computational and psychophysical approaches to vision
Computing Facilities
Students have access to ample computing facilities, including networks
of Apollo, Sun and Sparc workstations in the Schools of Computer
Science and Psychology.
