Admission requirements

If you have completed a Bachelor’s degree or are enrolled in the final semester of a Bachelor’s programme, you are eligible to apply for the Master’s programme in Cognition and communication. 

All applicants will be assessed in accordance to the academic requirements and the English language requirements.
