Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Science
The Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Science is offered in conjunction with existing master's or doctoral degrees. To be eligible for the Cognitive Science Diploma, students have to be enrolled in an MA or PhD program in a department that already offers an approved graduate degree, for example Computer Science, English, Philosophy, Psychology, and Systems Design Engineering.

Graduate Diploma in Theoretical Neuroscience
The
Graduate
Diploma
in
Theoretical
Neuroscience
is
offered
in
conjunction
with
a
Master’s
(or
Doctoral)
degree,
the
admission
to
which
requires
that
the
candidate
be
already
admitted
to
the
Master’s
(or
Doctoral)
program.
This
Diploma
adds
an
additional,
usually
interdisciplinary,
qualification
to
the
higher
degree.
To
be
eligible
for
the
Diploma
in
Theoretical
Neuroscience,
students
would
have
to
be
enrolled
in
an
MA
or
PhD
program
in
a
department
that
already
offers
an
OCGS-approved
graduate
degree.
To
receive
the
Diploma,
students
would
have
to
fulfill
all
the
requirements
of
the
degree
programs
in
which
they
are
enrolled
as
well
as
the
requirements
for
the
Diploma.
Unlike
experimental
neuroscience,
the
focus
of
a
program
in
theoretical
neuroscience
is
largely
mathematical.
This
allows
the
program
to
take
advantage
of
the
University
of
Waterloo’s
reputation
for
excellence
in
technical
areas.
A
Diploma
in
Theoretical
Neuroscience
will
provide
students
with
a
well-regarded
expertise
in
the
burgeoning
field
of
neuroscience.
