Applied Cognitive Psychology (MSc) - Utrecht University

In the Master in Applied Cognitive Psychology (MSc) program at Utrecht University, students will learn to apply knowledge of cognition and behaviour to situations and problems that occur in daily life.

The program focuses on human information processing. That knowledge is useful for making signage or advertising more effective, for example, or for making products more user-friendly.

Students will also learn to come up with solutions for a wide range of problems that can occur in professional practice. Humans are dramatically changing their environment using increasingly complex technology, such as the Internet, social media, robotics and automation. In order to design an environment that is well suited to human cognitive abilities, one should understand human perception, understanding and reasoning.

The Master in Applied Cognitive Psychology (MSc) program offers a variety of courses. Students will learn how to formulate and solve practical problems in a scientific manner by attending these courses, doing an internship and writing a Master’s thesis.
