Summary
For more information, the detailed teaching programme and internship proposals can be consulted on the extended website : Master Cognitives Sciences, CNA path.
Objectives
The links between the Grenoble research laboratories that are partners in the Master's programme and the Grenoble University Hospital, as well as the pooling of different experimental platforms (MRI, EEG, TMS, etc.), enable fruitful research in cognitive science. Thanks to these various collaborations, students enrolled on the CNA course are offered a large number of work placements, and the subjects of these placements, offered by various Grenoble laboratories, among others, are diverse and make the course rich.
This course is supported by the Grenoble Cognition cluster.
Specificities
- Very strong links with Grenoble research laboratories
- At the start of the course, visits to laboratories, their experimental platforms and the IRMage platform (site du CHU)
- Participation in research seminars offered by the laboratories
- A B2 level in English is required
- Placement in a research laboratory with a dissertation in the form of a scientific article.

Training partners
LaboratoriesParterns laboratoriesThe CNA programme is mainly supported by two Grenoble laboratories: GIPSA-lab (Grenoble Image Parole Signal Automatique) and LPNC (Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition). Other laboratories in the Grenoble Cognition Cluster are also heavily involved in teaching and in welcoming students, in particular :- Grenoble Institut des neurosciences (GIN)
- Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG)
- Laboratoire de linguistique et didactique des langues étrangères et maternelles (LIDILEM)
- Laboratoire Interuniversitaire de Psychologie : Personnalité, Cognition, Changement Social (LIP)
- Grenoble INRIA
The CNA course is mainly research-oriented. Students are therefore exposed to research in their courses, but also in the seminars they are required to attend and through the internships they are required to complete in M1 and M2. They are asked to choose placements with a strong research component. In addition, every year we organise visits to laboratories, during which researchers present their work, show students around their experimental platforms and talk to students.Other institution(s) delivering the degreeFormation co-accréditée par l'Institut polytechnique de Grenoble (Grenoble INP) et l'Université Grenoble 2 (UPMF).

Expected learning outcomes
Target skills
- Carrying out a study in the cognitive sciences: posing a scientific problem, constructing and developing an argument, analysing the data, interpreting the results, drawing up a summary and proposing extensions.
- Adopt a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating knowledge of both the engineering sciences and the humanities, social sciences and/or neurosciences.
- Implement a project: define the objectives and context, carry out and evaluate the action.
- Working in a team: integrating, positioning and collaborating.
Careers
Jobs
In terms of professional challenges, this pathway responds to a growing demand for truly multidisciplinary skills, where skills in engineering sciences, information theory and knowledge of the humanities and social sciences are of equal importance, whether in the research sectors or the R&D sectors of industry. The CNA pathway aims to train for the following professions :
- Researcher, Teacher-researcher in cognitive science, information processing (image, speech), cognitive psychology, neuroscience, language science
- Teacher
- R&D engineer in Information Processing, Communication and Cognition (Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Learning, Cognitive Ergonomics, Interfaces, etc.)
- Computer scientist/Design engineer
- Research and development technical manager
