The Language, Logic and Cognition Center (LLCC) at the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is home to a large group of scholars whose research is devoted to the study of human language from the perspective of multiple disciplines – linguistics, philosophy, computer science, cognitive science, and brain science.
LLCC runs a graduate program for outstanding students. The students in the program get involved in interdisciplinary research projects on language from the outset. Admission to the program is contingent upon acceptance to one of the relevant departments at the university (e.g., Linguistics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, and Psychology). The center encourages and accommodates joint projects with members of the Edmond and Lily Center for Brain Sciences. We admit students who pursue advanced degrees, either M.A. or PhD.
Students in the program are required to fulfill all their departmental requirements; in addition they have to complete 15 additional credits in LLCC and/or in linguistics and adjacent fields. Course selection is based on the student's interests and is done in coordination with the student's advisory committee.
Alladmitted students receive a fellowship that includes a monthly stipend.
LLCC’s courses for the upcoming academic year will begin in October 2017.
