The BCS department aims to raise quality researchers in the brain and cognitive sciences. The world trend in neuroscience has shifted to unraveling the mysteries of the neural mechanisms of cognition and mind. Our departmental goals are to raise and nurture high-quality researchers who can play significant roles in carving some original and independent research fields and who can lead the world with such originality. The nature of the brain and cognitive sciences requires putting together different disciplines of sciences and techniques, and, as the first graduate department dedicated to brain and cognitive sciences in Korea, we make hard efforts to raise researchers who can make integrative use of diverse techniques and backgrounds to tackle mind and cognition scientifically. We believe that people who have been educated and trained in our department will significantly advance the brain mechanisms of how the mind works and contribute to the betterment of human society in the future.
