Minor Culture and Cognition
Have you ever wondered what it is that allows humans to create (a) culture? Or in what respect human cognition and culture may be different from those of other mammals and primates? This minor unveils the cognitive aspects of human culture, and follows the evolution of human cognition from its earliest forms to the modern mind.
The study of culture from the perspective of cognition is an evolving field in the present academic world. There are many ways of studying this; the Groningen minor is unique in combining the neurological aspect with courses that are focused on diverse cultural fields.
The courses are taught by a team of teachers who are professionals in either the study of culture or cognition.
The program consists of the following courses:
The Evolution of Human Culture (10 EC, semester 1a) LBA017B10
|
Biology of Cognition (5 EC, semester 1a) LBA029B05
|
Knowledge, Signs, and Meaning (5 EC, semester 1b) LBA037B05
|
Narratives We Live By (5 EC, semester 1b) LBA020B05
|
Art and Cognition (5 EC, semester 1b) LBA026B05

You can either follow a 15 ECTS package (block 1a), or the complete minor of 30 ECTS (blocks 1a/1b). The courses in the second block build on the first block. Students following the complete minor have precedence when enrolling.
Students have to register for either the 15 ECTS package (block 1a), or the complete minor of 30 ECTS (blocks 1a/1b) via Progress.
