We are quite a welcoming department; and, we represent interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and metadisciplinary work in this university. If you are prepared to combine your own expertise with ours to attack a cognitive science problem, and ready to walk the extra mile to learn a new field, including its foundations and basic methods, this might be the right place for you.
Please check METU Academic Calendar and the announcements in the Informatics Insitute Website for the dates, deadlines and procedure for applying to METU graduate programmes.

Since there is no undergraduate cognitive science degree in Turkey yet, we accept all our MSc students to without thesis option first; then, move them to program with thesis depending on their progress and desire. After admission, all applicants have the possibility to transfer to M.S. with Thesis by submitting a petition to the department. Please carefully read the guidelines and eligibility requirements for transferring to M.S.
