BA First-year:  Arts and Cognition. Students can elaborate on the basic concepts and the main theoretical perspectives in the cognitive sciences. They can name and describe their main historical developments. They learn about the basic cognitive functions (emotion, feeling, perception, memory, imagination, and consciousness). They are able to think about the arts (musicking, singing, dancing, pantomiming, drawing, pretend playing, verbal storytelling) from an evolutionary and developmental perspective. They can explain how the arts are studied from the perspective of the cognitive sciences.

BA First-year:  Lecturer-Tutor/Mentor. During group and individual meetings, the tutor helps students develop study skills and an academic study attitude by paying attention to effective study behavior. The tutor also refers students on to other sources of support within the academic community: Study-Advisor, Student-Mentor, Student-Association, Information Services, and The Centre for Study Support and Academic Skills.

It focuses on the cognitive processes underlying artistic experience and on its possible functions drawing from both everyday cases (by means of musicking, singing, dancing, pretend playing, drawing, pantomiming, or verbal storytelling) and clinical cases (making use of different art therapies such as music therapy; dance therapy; visual/tactile therapy; drama therapy; and writing therapy).

BA Third-yearResearch Tutor - Honours College. In this tutorial, students become familiar with performing research tasks by working on conducting research for an academic publication by the supervisor. The tasks can include conducting literature research, collecting, processing, interpreting data, and/or conducting bibliographical and editorial tasks for the publication.
