PhD Cognition and Perception Psychology

5 Years On Campus Phd Program

New York University

Program Overview

Students and faculty investigate how people perceive, think, and act. Research is central in our graduate training. Students are exposed to a broad range of knowledge in cognition and perception and they are trained to think creatively and to develop independent research careers. Students and faculty work closely with researchers in other departments (Neural Science, Computer Science, Linguistics, and Philosophy). Every week there are journal club discussions and talks by leading researchers that take place within the Psychology Department, in other NYU departments, and at other nearby schools in New York City (see Events). Ready access to researchers at several great universities and to incredible cultural resources makes New York City a great place to study perception and cognition.
