Ph.D. in Cognitive Science
Carleton University now offers a PhD in Cognitive Science. The

Canada's first dedicated, fully structured Ph.D. programme in Cognitive
Science. Further information can be obtained from the Director, Andrew

The programme is housed in the Institute of Interdisciplinary
Studies. The programme involves 26 faculty from the five core disciplines
of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Psychology, Linguistics,
Philosophy, and Neuroscience, 17 from Carleton, the other nine from the
University of Ottawa, McGill University, and the federal Communications
Research Centre.
It is possible to enter the programme with an honours Bachelor's
degree as well as with a Master's degree. Students with training in any
of the core disciplines or a related discipline or disciplines are
invited to apply. The programme involves dedicated core courses, courses
from contributing departments, a highly innovative `methodology rotation'
in which students spend a term in a laboratory or other research facility
in three different cognitive disciplines, and a dissertation. The
methodology rotation serves as the comprehensive examination. The
dissertation committee is interdisciplinary.
Financial assistance in the form of Scholarships and Teaching
Assistantships is available to all qualified students. All students are
provided with office space, a fully networked computer, and so on. About
five new students will be admitted each year in the early years of the
programme.
The programme has been assessed by an international panel of
cognitive scientists from England, Canada and the United States. All
rated it in the highest category.
