Evaluation Procedure and Evaluation Criteria

The MEi:CogSci admission committee will assess your qualification.

The admission committee consists of:

  • Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ulrich Ansorge
  • Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Thomas Bugnyar
  • Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Franz-Markus Peschl
  • Mag. Dr. Sabine Tebbich, Privatdoz.

Candidates are chosen based on their letter of motivation (your motivation to study cognitive science and your research question) and the discipline of their bachelor's degree. As the didactic design of the curriculum requires an equal distribution of representatives of the core disciplines of cognitive science, rankings will be made for these different areas: (1) natural sciences, (2) humanities, (3) formal sciences, (4) social sciences, (5) cognitive science. The five highest ranked students from each area will be admitted.

Candidates will be nominated by 30 June latest. An official email will be sent to you by the admission office. 

For any question related to the admission procedure, qualification, assessment, etc. please contact meicogsci@univie.ac.at. (not the members of the admission commission)
