Major Research in Cognitive Science

Cognitive Science at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań has the longest tradition in Poland, almost 20 years, and the Faculty of Psychology and Cognitive Science is recognized as one of the leading Polish centers for cognitive research and education in this field. It is a course with a general academic education profile, so its program is closely related to scientific research in the disciplines of psychology and social communication and media sciences. Graduates of complementary master’s studies in cognitive science are particularly prepared to conduct research and implementation work related to the issues of the mind and cognitive processes, as well as to solve multidisciplinary problems, both independently and as part of team work. Cognitive knowledge and skills are used wherever tasks related to stimulating cognitive development, creating solutions in the field of social communication, designing research tools or improvements in human-computer communication are implemented. Completion of cognitive science allows you to acquire skills to use both the resources of individual basic disciplines and creative problem solving requiring, for example, linking psychological knowledge with computer science, theories of artificial intelligence and logic or biology with linguistics and philosophy. This set of knowledge and skills allows you to find yourself perfectly in multidisciplinary project and research teams and also to coordinate them.
