The Central European University has started to develop the background
for an interdisciplinary program in cognitive science. As a part of
this process, the Cognitive Development Center was established in
2008, and two professors of psychology, Gergely Csibra and Gyorgy
Gergely share their time between conducting research at the Center and
teaching courses within the curriculum of the Philosophy program at
CEU. Philosophy of mind had already been one of the focuses in the
Philosophy Depertment’s research; now with the presence of
researchers working on cognitive psychology, the program offers a
unique opportunity for those who are interested in pursuing a PhD in
philosophy which emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach and may
involve significant amount of empirical work in psychology under the
guidance of professors Csibra and Gergely.
We envisage that students who have a degree in philosophy, psychology,
or any other discipline relevant to cognitive science, might equally
be interested in this option. Since our degree is a philosophy degree,
students need to have some background in philosophy, and they have to
relate their work to philosophical discussions of the mind. Therefore
the best course for students who have no previous education in
philosophy is to apply for a philosophy MA at CEU (one or two years).
A significant percentage of the courses at the MA are elective
courses, hence students will have an opportunity, if they so wish, to
focus their studies to issues related to the philosophy of mind. After
the MA, the students will be well placed to apply for the PhD program
in philosophy. We must note that because of the structure of, and
regulations concerning the programs, there can be no guarantee that
everyone from the MA will be admitted to the PhD program; however, an
MA in philosophy would in any case be useful to everyone who is
interested in doing research in cognitive psychology.
Extended deadline for application: 1 April 2009.
