* Provide a broad grounding in the research methods of the sciences of human cognition;
* Prepare students to undertake advanced cross-disciplinary research;
* Facilitate students' ability to integrate relevant cross-disciplinary knowledge;
* Prepare students to examine problems of importance to society, and develop strategies for addressing them through appropriate methods in the laboratory or in an applied setting;
* Enhance students' ability to communicate scientific findings to both the general public as well to the professionals in the public and private sectors;
* Develop students' skills in knowledge transfer.

The programme is intended for graduates in psychology, linguistics, philosophy, or computing science/informatics who wish to pursue advanced research in human cognition in science and society.
The programme also provides the opportunity for students to develop skills in undertaking research and for communicating and applying both their own research and the research of others to issues that are important for the broader society.
Students who have well-developed written and oral communication skills will be encouraged to take on placement projects for knowledge exchange.
Other students may choose to pursue scientific research that has implications for the broader society but aimed primarily at an academic audience.
Completion of the programme would provide the foundations of a research doctoral training programme, or a career in applied research or in science writing for the general public or non-academic professionals.
