The MSc in Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosciences (Research) offers integrated teaching by top researchers from three faculties in small groups, and students collaborate in stable cohorts during the 2 years. We also provide excellent research facilities including University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), NeuroImaging Center, and Center for Life Sciences. More than 75% of our students enroll in Ph.D. projects after graduation, and our program was awarded the 'Top Rated Program' label (Keuzegids Masters 2017).

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, its functions and structure. The nervous system controls human behavior, emotions, thinking, physical functions, conscious and unconscious movements. Even now, we still do not fully understand this most complex system, and many questions remain to be answered. Moreover, much awaits to be discovered about how the dysfunction of nervous system can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The Master of Science in Virtual Education with a concentration in Neuroscience presents a framework for understanding how people absorb and retain new information and integrate knowledge from neuroscience and education. In addition to presenting the impact of ICT in education and new virtual methodologies, the program is designed to provide an overview of the basic concepts of how the human brain works. Students will assess the feasibility of using this neuroscience knowledge to address key issues in education.

MSc in Modeling of Neuronal and Cognitive Systems. Mod4neuCog is a two-year interdisciplinary master's program, that aims to train active researchers at the crossroads of computer science, applied mathematics, and cognitive neuroscience. We encourage students with a background in computer science, mathematics, cognitive science, psychology, or neuroscience to apply to our program, where they will learn to model cognitive functions using mathematical and computational tools.

Are you interested in how the nervous system works at its most fundamental level? Do you want to study at the frontier where chemistry and biology meet? Then this highly selective master’s program, the only one in Europe dedicated to neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology, could be for you.

The Cognitive Neuroimaging and Data Science MSc helps to provide fundamental insight into important theories in cognitive and computational neuroscience and hands-on experience in methods of neuroimaging and data science techniques. To understand the brain and performance, there is a need to merge the traditional, hypothesis-based experiments with unbiased, large-scale machine learning approaches to study the dynamic interactions between brain regions and their relations to behaviour.

Medical Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system, examining its structure, function, chemistry, and physiology to better understand medical conditions relating to the nervous system and working as a framework for understanding human behaviour.

Knowledge of the brain in health and disease is still in its infancy. Are you passionate about learning more about neuroscience and contributing to our understanding of the functioning of the brain? If yes, then studying the MSc Molecular Neuroscience will be an excellent starting point.

Understanding the relationship between brain, cognition and behaviour is one of the biggest challenges the scientific community is currently working on. Computational cognitive neuroscience is a young and exciting discipline that tackles these long-standing research questions by integrating computer modelling with experimental research.

Neuroscience is beginning to influence education across the world. This programme will provide you with the skills and understanding to interrogate and apply insights arising from neuroscience in education. It is suitable for teachers and practitioners of all subjects, including teachers of children with special needs, educational psychologists, education managers, and policymakers.

This specialisation provides you with a theoretical background and practical experience in pharmaceutical drug research & development, medicinal nutrition, and personalized healthcare. You will have interactions with industry and regulatory agencies. The overarching theme is the pipeline of drug research & development from the design of the molecule to its applications in healthcare settings.

The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to existing fields of research, or to begin to develop new areas.

The Cognitive Neuroscience Master’s programme at Radboud University is unique in the world because of its multidisciplinary approach. Psychologists, physicists, biologists, mathematicians, linguists and medical professionals work side by side.

Offered in collaboration with the Miller School of Medicine, the MS and BS/MS programs in neural engineering focus on challenging issues, such robotic movement systems, bioengineered materials, the brain-computer interface, and treatments for neural degenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

Studying both cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology will give a thorough grounding in the scientific investigation of the neural mechanisms underlying human behaviour and the effects of brain injury on cognitive function. You will be taught the theoretical and biological foundations of cognitive science, and undertake advanced training in statistics and neuropsychological research methods.
