The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma (PBD) in Cognitive Science debuted as a fresh academic offering during the 2016-2017 academic year. This specialized program caters to graduates holding bachelor's degrees who seek to expand their knowledge of cognitive science while acquiring hands-on research skills. The curriculum comprises 4.0 credits, equivalent to eight single-term courses, featuring upper-level (300- and 400-level) coursework that mirrors the Bachelor of Cognitive Science degree requirements.

This diploma program serves as an excellent pathway for aspiring graduate students who wish to pursue Master's-level studies in Cognitive Science but may lack sufficient research exposure in their undergraduate background or need to strengthen their academic credentials for direct admission to the M.Cog.Sc. program.
