Overview

Cognitive Science and Philosophy of AI is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Philosophy includes quantitative methods at most departments, which surprises applicants who expected essays alone.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
