The PhD in Perception, Cognition & Action is a four-year full-time or six-year part-time structured program, requiring thesis submission by the final year's end. During the first year, students complete coursework covering topics like experimental programming, data analysis, dynamical cognitive science, behavioral studies, perception research, EEG techniques, and cognitive modeling theories. The initial year's modular curriculum prepares students to develop their research proposal and thesis. Except for two taught modules in Year 3, the remaining program focuses exclusively on producing a comprehensive research thesis.
