课程概览
This programme provides you with an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge field of cognitive science, where philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology and artificial intelligence come together to discover how biological and artificial minds work. The programme also allows you to investigate how advances in artificial intelligence and advances in cognitive science can mutually inform our understanding of biological and artificial minds. Whether you want to broaden or deepen your understanding of the subject, or are transitioning from another discipline, this degree will help you develop a deeper understanding of the mind, while enhancing your career prospects or preparing you for further study. Our extensive range of optional modules will allow you to focus on the questions about minds that interest you most, or explore the discipline more broadly. You’ll be based in the School of History, Philosophy and Digital Humanities, but are free to take relevant modules in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, archaeology and music. With an extensive programme of events and research seminars, excellent facilities and a large community of expert cognitive scientists, philosophers, and AI researchers working across the University, Sheffield is an exceptional place to study this exciting field. Our MA is designed both to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD (as many do), while also equipping you with the relevant skills and knowledge in cognitive science, philosophy and AI, to enhance your career prospects outside of academia.

就业/职业信息
Our MA is designed equally to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD in Philosophy of Cognitive Science or Mind (as many do), to help transition to or between disciplines in cognitive science, or to enhance career prospects outside of academia. We offer support and advice for students who decide to apply for a PhD and our postgraduate training seminars include sessions on PhD funding and on non-academic jobs for philosophers. For those interested in non-academic career routes, this degree will help you develop and enhance a range of crucial transferable skills (for example research writing, project organisation, critical thinking and an understanding of emerging AI technologies) while developing a deeper understanding of any of a wide range of aspects of minds and cognition. These skills will put you in a strong position when it comes to finding employment. Our graduates work in teaching, law, social work, computing, the civil service, journalism, paid charity work, business, i
