Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in another related field (e.g. social sciences, engineering, philosophy, etc) may also apply, but should clearly explain in their motivation letter how their previous studies and experience have suitably prepared them for a master’s program in cognitive science.
Applicants should ideally also have a solid background in basic descriptive and inferential statistics (e.g., regression, ANOVA) as well as some experience in conducting empirical research (e.g., for a class project or bachelor’s thesis). Previous experience in statistics and empirical research should be mentioned in the motivation lettеr.
