Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences

The bachelor’s degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences addresses the professional challenges of the 21st century, which demand the use of a scientific approach to support decision-making processes in politics, business, and services.

This degree combines research skills and computational data analysis with psychological knowledge about how the human mind works.

The study plan of this programme can be combined with the bachelor’s degree in psychology, allowing students to obtain a double degree.

The bachelor’s degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences has a duration of 3 academic years (6 semesters), totalling 180 ECTS credits.

The Double Degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences and Psychology has a duration of 4 academic years (8 semesters).

The bachelor’s degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Sciences provides a foundation that may be further specialised (through postgraduate studies and master’s degrees) in a variety of scientific research fields (such as Neuroscience, Biology, Psychology, or Linguistics) and applied areas (such as Marketing, Information Management, or Data Management). It also enables direct entry into the job market, with professional opportunities as a UX Researcher and/or Data Scientist in the business sector.
