Graduate Program at the University of Trento

Announcing a new Master's program in Cognitive Science at the University of Trento, Italy. The program comprises of two years. It is taught entirely in English by our international faculty. Students can choose between two tracks:
1) Cognitive Neuroscience track
http://international.unitn.it/mcs/cns-cognitive-neuroscience
2) Language and Multi-Modal Interaction track
http://international.unitn.it/mcs/lmi-language-and-multimodal-interaction

The first year aims to build the student's methodological/theoretical bases and the second provides the opportunity for hands-on research experience. This is quite unique, because normally students are not granted an opportunity to have access to fMRI, EEG, MEG, and eye trackers at the master's level, but rather have to wait to be Ph.D. candidates.

Our goal is to form a future generation of bright and young researchers, who can use this program as a springboard towards an academic career in neuroscience with a distinct advantage and will be used to an international and English-speaking environment by the time they start their Ph.D.

The application is a simple on-line procedure, which can be accessed via:

At this time, we can enroll European students only (deadline: 31 July 2009), as the deadline for non-EU candidates has already passed. You can find more information here:
