Cognitive Neuroscience (Research)
What happens in your brain when you act? How is this fascinating, complex ‘micro cosmos’ no bigger than half a football inside your skull organised? If these questions spark your interest, this Master's programme is for you!

Neurobiology
Would you like to understand the brain from a multidisciplinary point of view? In this Neurobiology course at Radboud University, you'll study the brain across spatial scales, from molecule to whole human brains.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Clinical Psychology
This Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Clinical Psychology course at Maastricht University gives you theoretical background and clinical insight for cutting edge research in various mental health fields, such as: experimental psychopathology, clinical psychology and psychiatry.
Psychology - Cognitive Neuroscience
At Psychology - Cognitive Neuroscience from Maastricht University you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of human brain function and cognition, and you'll get practical training in the application of non-invasive brain imaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI.

Neurophysics
Our brain has an information processing capacity that far exceeds modern supercomputers In this Neurophysics specialisation at Radboud University, we aim at unravelling the neuro-computational mechanisms of this fascinating system using experimental approaches and advanced theory.
Psychology - Neuropsychology
The Psychology - Neuropsychology at Maastricht University focuses on normal and deviant behaviour in relation to brain structure and function.
Technical Medicine - Sensing and Stimulation
In order to optimize treatment, it is necessary to closely monitor and manage the patient’s health status by means of ‘precision diagnostics and targeted therapy’. The Sensing and Stimulation MSc programme at Leiden University combines the techniques and applications of these sensing (monitoring) and stimulation techniques.
Neuroscience and Cognition
Are you interested in doing research to better understand normal and pathological brain function? Do you want to become a specialist in the field of neurosciences? The Neuroscience and Cognition programme at Utrecht University offers you the opportunity to investigate numerous areas of brain functioning that make the neuroscience and cognition field uniquely intriguing and challenging.
Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
Are you interested in the neural basis of cognition, the mechanisms of neurodegeneration or the evolution of behaviour? We offer a Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences programme in at University of Groningen.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research)
The acquisition and comprehension of language are based on extremely complex cognitive processes which are not yet entirely understood. It’s these processes, and their biological underpinnings, that form psycholinguistics’ field of study and are the basis of the Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research) programme at Radboud University.
Neurobiology (Biomedical Sciences)
The Biomedical Sciences - Neurobiology of the University of Amsterdam is a challenging Master's programme. It is positioned at the interface between biology, psychology and philosophy. Your Master’s diploma qualifies for excellent positions both in- and outside the academia, anywhere in the world.
Clinical Neuropsychology
The Clinical Neuropsychology MSc programme offered by Leiden University focuses on fostering clinical and scientific skills based on a solid theoretical background as well as practical training in neuropsychology and (clinical) neuropsychological research.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Neuropsychology
Study both the cognitive and emotional-affective aspects of human behaviour. Learn more about the influence of food and medication on behaviour. Train your academic skills and get the opportunity to combine clinical and research internships with the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Neuropsychology course at Maastricht University.
Neuropsychology
In the Neuropsychology programme at Utrecht University, you will learn how to work together with other behavioural and medical professionals.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Fundamental Neuroscience
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Fundamental Neuroscience from Maastricht University combines theoretical background with practical experience in research at the interface of biology and psychology. The fundamental molecular mechanisms of psychological processes, as well as neurological and psychiatric disorders are investigated.
Applied Neuroscience in Human Development
Are you interested in the neurocognitive and biological roots of learning, behaviour and emotions in children? If so, the Applied Neuroscience in Human Development MSc programme at Leiden University might be the specialisation you are looking for.

Neurosciences (Research)
Do you want to know how the brain works and why dysfunctions can lead to disorders? To use this knowledge to understand and combat neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's and mental disorders. Then join the Neurosciences (Research) course from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research)
The Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research) Master's track at Radboud University studies the mechanistic underpinnings and behavioural consequences of long-term changes in neural structure and function.
Biomedical Sciences
The Biomedical Sciences programme of the University of Amsterdam is a two-year programme. It offers two clusters and is closely affiliated with the University of Amsterdam Academic Medical Center (AMC-UvA) and the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS).
Cognitive Neuroscience (research)
At the Cognitive Neuroscience (research) MSc programme at Leiden University focuses on the investigation of the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of human cognition by means of mind and brain research.
