Cognitive Neuroscience (research)

Cognitive Neuroscience is designed to unravel the way human brain works by exploring the cognitive and neural basis for mental functions such as perception, action, language, attention and memory. This programme in Cognitive Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary research Master’s of the Radboud University and the Radboud UMC. The research Master’s programme offers four specialisations that coincide with the research themes of the Donders Institute: (1) language and communication, (2) perception, action and decision-making, (3) development and life-long plasticity, and (4) natural computing and neurotechnology. The programme is an excellent opportunity for students who want to prepare themselves for a career as a researcher. You can personalise the programme to best match your research interests by choosing one of the tracks, skill training, track courses and elective courses. Students will be able to use state-of-the-art equipment and research facilities that the Radboud University campus offers.
