Master course structure
Last Updated on Sunday, 07 March 2010 02:31
The Centre offers a Master (M.Sc.) Programme in Cognitive Science of four semesters duration with 80 credits. The credits shall be earned by course-work as well as by completing the Master’s Thesis. The courses in semesters comprise Core (compulsory) and Elective (optional) courses. A large number of elective courses are available and the student would have considerable flexibility in choosing the electives. Students may opt for electives in consultation with the Course Advisory Committee.
Students are required to be involved in research work as part of their Master thesis (total 12 credits). They are encouraged to write research papers for publication, and to make presentation in seminars and conferences. The research/thesis work shall culminate in a Dissertation to be submitted at the end of the fourth semester. Each four-credit course is of one full semester with 40+ contact hours. A course may be divided into modular units and co-taught by two or more experts. The Centre launched the master program in Cognitive Science in 2002.
