Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (research)

The two-year research master Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience is an English taught programme that focuses on cognition, brain, and behaviour. It is designed for students with a strong interest in research. Each year, 24 students can be admitted to each specialisation: • Cognitive Neuroscience • Drug Development and Neurohealth • Fundamental Neuroscience • Neuropsychology • Clinical Psychology The first year highlights theoretical foundations and focuses on the acquisition of the theoretical, methodological and statistical skills necessary to participate in ongoing research. The second year is largely dedicated to the master’s research internship and thesis. In some specialisations, students may also complete a clinical research internship. In order to promote your development as a scientist, you will closely interact with the academic staff and you will have a personal mentor from the beginning of the programme.
