About Us
SACS is the Student Association of Cognitive Science at McGill University. Our goal is to provide prospective and current Cognitive Science students with information related to the program and opportunities to connect with each other. Given the interdisciplinary nature of Cognitive Science, Cog Sci students may feel overwhelmed with how much the program has to offer. SACS aims to provide a bridge for students who wish to meet other students within all five streams, promoting enriching relationships between students, no matter what aspects of Cognitive Science interest them.
Over the course of the year, we hold Lab Tours, Workshops, Wine and Cheeses, and many more! Through these events and other initiatives, Cog Sci students get the opportunity to meet peers, mentors and professors in their program. This network building fosters long term friendships, guides students through their degree academically, supports students in finding research positions and ultimately helps Cog Sci students start their careers post-grad.

What is Cognitive Science?
Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of the mind, integrating five key fields: neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer science.
- Neuroscience allows us to study the biological basis of the brain.
- Psychology exposes us to the mental processes behind observable behaviour.
- Linguistics permits us to understand the scientific structure of language.
- Philosophy gives us a logical lens through which we can study consciousness and ethical dilemmas.
- Computer science helps us draw parallels between information processing models and the study of the brain.
These five disciplines provide students with the tools to make connections across diverse fields and approach problem solving from an interdisciplinary perspective, while drawing from both the arts and the sciences.
At McGill University, Cognitive Science is an interfaculty program in the Faculty of Arts & Science. Visit the official page of the Cognitive Science program at McGill or check with your advisor for more details.
