Cognitive Neuropsychology-Uni

Become the best researcher you can be

The two-year research Master Cognitive Neuropsychology is an interdisciplinary master bridging the areas of cognitive psychology and clinical neuropsychology. The aim of the Master is to provide students with the skills and knowledge to interpret clinical neuropsychological cases in terms of cognitive and neuropsychological theories. Moreover, students learn to use those cases to improve these theories. The Master program aims to provide students with the knowledge to become professional researchers within the area of cognitive neuropsychology. The curriculum consists of multiple courses in cognitive psychology, clinical neuropsychology, neuroscience, and general academic skills concerning methodology, writing, and modern brain imaging techniques.
