Csibra Gergely --- 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.
