Subject: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Neurolinguistics: MA / MSc, Université Côte d'Azur, France

 Institution/Organization: Université Côte d'Azur 
Department: NeuroMod

Level: MA / MSc 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Neurolinguistics 
 

Description:

Université Côte d'Azur (a union of academic institutions on the French
Riviera) is offering a Master's level program focusing on modelling in
neuroscience and cognitive science. The name of the program is 'Modeling for
neuronal and cognitive systems' ('Mod4NeuCog') 

Program
The first semester is dedicated to the basics. It starts with 5 intensive
weeks of bootcamp (update training in mathematics, programming and
experimental set-ups). One of the goals of the update program is to establish
an efficient and independent working method and to become acquainted with the
environment of OpenNeuroLab, which is designed to promote group work. The
first semester continues with coursework and projects in one of two tracks:
“Cognitive Science” and “Applied Mathematics”.
The second semester is marked by a transition to more independent work. It’s
mostly comprised of mini-projects, conceived and supervised in collaboration
with laboratories of the Université Côte d’Azur. These projects will be
carried out in groups in the OpenNeuroLab and in laboratories. In addition,
(groups of) students will carry out a self-designed project, for which a small
budget will be available, with the management of the budget comprising a part
of the challenge.
The second year is centred around two internships, with at least one either
abroad or in a private company.

Admission
Candidates should have a bachelor’s or an equivalent degree in mathematics,
computer science, biology, psychology, electrical engineering, economics or
linguistics. In addition, they will have to provide evidence of their ability
to follow mathematical courses at a rapid pace (preparatory classes, double
degree, syllabi of previous mathematics courses and evidence of good grades in
these courses, recommendation letters, etc.). As a part of the application,
the candidates are asked to provide a motivation letter explaining their
interest in neuroscience and cognition and a short description of a project
they would like to develop. The project proposal is required for evaluation
purposes and will not necessarily lead to a project used in the course of
study. The admission is selective, based on the students’ application
materials.

Tuition fees: 4000€*
*The tuition fees may be reduced for EU citizens, depending on their
circumstances. In addition, financial aid (need or merit-based scholarships,
or student employment) may be available.
