First Year Theoretical Seminars programme

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit students are full members of the Cambridge Graduate Programme in Cognitive and Brain Sciences, which has been jointly established by the Unit and the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. This consists of a weekly series of theoretical seminars presented by senior researchers from the MRC CBU and from the University. Lectures will be held fortnightly on Tuesdays at 3pm.

All seminars are held during Michaelmas and Lent terms only. These are compulsory for MRC CBU first year graduate students.

Please note – this is a teaching course exclusively for first-year graduate students from the MRC CBU and the University Depts. of Psychology & Psychiatry. If you are not in these groups but would like to attend please contact the organiser.

Details of the Seminar Programme will be updated on this page and any changes in the programme, as well as any other information of interest, will be communicated via e-mail – it is therefore important that you e-mail the seminar administrator to ensure that your name is on the “Camgrads+” mailing list.

All public talks are publicised on the University talks website, which also contains an archive of older lectures.

These seminars will now be held virtually via Zoom. Details have been shared with staff and students in the appropriate departments. Please contact vicky.collins@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk if you are a first year student and have not recieved the details.
