What you will study
The MA in Cognition and Communication at the University of Copenhagen is still being developed. The programme is expected to be offered as a focused one-year master's degree, with the first intake in September 2028. The details below come from the programme's own page. Some things, such as admission requirements, specific courses and the full programme structure, are not yet decided.
What you study
The programme is interdisciplinary. It combines a theoretical foundation with an applied focus on issues where media and human interaction meet. You will study the cognitive processes linked to extensive media use in contemporary society. The page describes the core disciplines of cognition and communication, and you will learn to address complex issues from an interdisciplinary perspective.
How the programme is organised
Teaching moves from a foundation in the core disciplines to integrative and advanced courses. Along the way you learn to apply interdisciplinary and process-oriented approaches to studying media, communication and cognition. In the latter part of the programme you choose and develop a quantitative, qualitative or theoretical methodological approach for your capstone project. The programme is taught in English at South Campus, Karen Blixens Plads 8, DK-2300 Copenhagen S.
Who it suits
It suits students who want to work across media, communication and cognition rather than within a single discipline. If you are curious about how people process media and how that shapes interaction, this programme is built around that intersection. The applied focus means you should be comfortable connecting theory to real questions about media use and human interaction.
Admission, language and next steps
Admission requirements are not yet published. The programme is taught in English. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other students pay a fee set by the institution. Because the programme is still being developed, the page advises contacting student guidance with questions about your options, choosing a programme and what is already known.
