Welcome

Founded by the Queen's University, Belfast in September 2004, the Institute of Cognition and Culture (the ICC) is one of the world's first multidisciplinary centres for research in the cognitive science of culture. This is a new and rapidly growing field in which scholars seek to explain patterns of cross-cultural variation using the methods and theories of the behavioural sciences (especially, experimental and evolutionary psychology). Our postgraduate programmes enable students to develop an advanced knowledge and understanding of the theoretical and research traditions and techniques associated with the study of cognition and culture.
