The programme takes 2 years to complete and is offered through the Department of Psychology. As a graduate student, you will be able to choose from a variety of research and/or applied modules. The department's research spans cutting-edge topics such as multisensory integration, brain oscillations and behaviour, cortical plasticity, computational neuroscience, and pharmaco-neuroimaging, to name a few. Different state-of-the-art neuroscience tools and psychology labs are available to gain hands-on experience in magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalography, high-density electroencephalography, eye tracking, transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation, and psychophysics. Practical experience is provided in several of our applied modules and in the internship in collaboration with local hospitals and rehab centres.

Depending on the chosen modules, the programme either prepares your for a career in research or for an employment in applied settings (such as hospitals or industry). Several of our research based modules prepare students in depth for entering a PhD programme in the area of cognitive neuroscience, offered by this or other universities. Our applied modules additionally guarantee a basic training in the area of clinical neuropsychology and human computer interaction.
