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).

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 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.

In addition, you will learn to apply theories and methods from cognitive neuroscience to real-world scenarios: economic decision making, education, marketing, clinical practice, policymaking, etc. During the master's, you will combine your scientific knowledge and your creativity to develop your own project that brings cognitive neuroscience from the lab into the world.

The specialisation in Clinical Psychology provides students with the theoretical background and clinical insights necessary for future research in the various fields related to mental health.

The specialization in Fundamental Neuroscience provides you with both a theoretical background and practical experience in research at the interface between psychology and biology.

In the Cognitive Neuroscience specialisation, you acquire a unique combination of in-depth knowledge on human brain function, perception, and cognition, paralleled with extensive and hands-on training for using the most advanced non-invasive brain imaging (including fMRI, fNIRS, DWI, EEG/MEG) and brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS) techniques. The obtained knowledge and skills provide an excellent background to flexibly apply these techniques in fundamental as well as applied and clinical research settings.

In the Cognitive Neuroscience specialisation, you'll study the human brain and how it relates to cognition, perception, and behavior. The programme combines in-depth knowledge of human brain function and cognition with practical training in applying non-invasive brain imaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI.
