<\/p>\n
Decision Science News is based out of London. And you could be, too.<\/p>\n
University College London and Birkbeck are launching a new MSc in Cognitive and Decision Sciences (to start in Sept 2007).<\/p>\n
This program studies the cognitive processes underlying human thought and decision making. Key topics include: probabilistic models of the mind; the nature of computational explanation; the general principles of cognition; the scope of rational choice models; learning and memory; applications to economics and business.<\/p>\n
It draws on an outstanding faculty at UCL and Birkbeck, including internationally renowned researchers in psychology, computational modelling, neuroscience and economics. It also takes full advantage of London\u2019s unique position as a global \u201chot-spot\u201d for research in cognition, decision-making, and neuroscience, with a high density of research seminars and scientific meetings.<\/p>\n
The course is suitable for students from a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, economics, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science and statistics.<\/p>\n
