Mission Statement

Through our study of computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of human cognition, and to apply this knowledge to create intelligent artificial systems.

The multi-disciplinary aspect of the Cognitive Systems Program at UBC offers graduates the capacity to converse with experts in a wide range of fields. Our graduates are able to integrate, collaborate, and think outside the box.

Our integrative nature facilitates work across boundaries-blurring the lines that once separated distinct and specialized fields.
