Cognitive Science

How to Apply

Admission Requirements

The Cognitive Science option is open to all University of Waterloo students and may be taken in conjunction with an honours or general degree. You should have at least a 70% cumulative average in the undergraduate courses you have already taken.

When to Apply

You would normally select the option in 1st or 2nd year, after completing one of the required courses, preferably PHIL/PSYCH 256 - Introduction to Cognitive Science. It is also possible to select the option later, but satisfying all the requirements before you graduate can be a challenge.

How to Apply

Send the program director a transcript of your marks and a one-page letter explaining your interest in Cognitive Science.
