The CBU postgraduate community is truly diverse and international. We typically host approximately 50 postgraduate students at any one time and applications are invited from individuals wishing to pursue research in areas covered by any of our research programmes. Our approaches include experimental cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, computational modelling and neuroimaging using MRI, MEG, and EEG.

For anyone wishing to embark upon postgraduate study beginning October 2021, the application portal opens in September, with the submission deadline matching the major funding deadlines as follows:

• 13 October 2021 for candidates wishing to be considered for Gates USA funding
• 2 December 2021 for all other candidates

Please be aware that the dates advertised on the system may not match the above dates.
