博士 ICC的课程运行了3年。在培训的第一年，学生与主管协商后准备研究方案，并接受有关各种方法以及针对项目特定问题的个人指导的小组培训。这个阶段的结果是对所提出的研究进行评估。如果成功的话，学生将“与众不同”（即晋升为博士学位候选人）。第二年包括研究生培训的研究和数据收集部分，学生将系统地测试其建议书中定义的假设。这通常需要两个阶段。首先，博士候选人在ICC的实验室设施内进行研究研究（或一系列研究）。在第二部分中，学生将他们的方法论应用于独特的文化背景，该文化背景被认为能够解决和完善博士候选人理论模型的核
The Institute of Cognition and Culture (ICC) is one of the world's first centres for research in the cognitive science of culture. This is a burgeoning interdisciplinary field in which scholars seek to explain patterns of cultural stability and variation utilising theories and methods of the cognitive and evolutionary sciences.<br>We offer a unique programme of Doctoral research that is based on the recognition of a need to cross traditional disciplinary divisions in the scientific study of cultural phenomena. Our training in a wide range of research methods and theoretical approaches equips students for rigorous scientific investigation, enabling them to generate significant discoveries that are of relevance to potentially many diverse fields of academic scholarship on cognition and culture.<br>The PhD at the Institute of Cognition and Culture (ICC) aims to create a new breed of scholars capable of (i) grasping the discoveries of multiple disciplines - in particular, those connected to the cognitive and evolutionary sciences, (ii) formulating and testing hypotheses through rigorous methodological means, (iii) applying these methods cross-culturally, often in collaboration with other researchers, and (iv) building a well-integrated body of knowledge on a specific topic. The students we seek for this endeavour should demonstrate great analytical skills, creativity and motivation, and a deep interest in the field of cognition and culture.
