Cognitive science is the study of the human mind, brain, and behavior. Cognitive scientists use advanced statistical modeling and sensitive experimental methods to reveal the nature of cognitive processes. They do this to advance our knowledge of human thought and behavior and apply this knowledge in real-world settings.

Cognitive scientists are trained to develop a rigorous theoretical understanding of topics such as human decision-making, problem-solving, language and communication, action and movement, and attention and perception, and they use this understanding to solve real-world problems. They are trained to use experimental methods including functional brain imaging, eye-tracking, behavioral experiments, and theoretical modeling.... [-]

How do you design the blades of a wind turbine? How do you calculate the lifetime of a computer chip or a fuel cell? How do you analyze the dynamics of a racing car? These are just some of the questions you may be exploring on the MSc in Mechanical Engineering program.

The program provides students with the opportunity to apply theory to practical issues, with scope for interdisciplinary collaboration. You will gain a sound understanding of advanced calculation methodologies, such as the finite element method (FEM) and multidisciplinary simulation tools. You will study topics such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural dynamics and modal analysis, and fracture mechanics and fatigue. The basis for these competencies includes continuum mechanics, elasticity theory and plasticity theory.... [-]

The MSc program in Civil and Architectural Engineering provides you with insight into advanced theoretical and practical aspects of topics in civil and architectural engineering, as well as the opportunity to specialize in a related field.
