MA/MS in Neuroscience and Cognition

This master's programme covers the principles of both normal and pathological brain function, drawing on researchers based at the university and its affiliated medical centre, who are organised together under a dedicated neuroscience and cognition research structure. Teaching emphasises hands-on experience, supplemented by elective courses that provide theoretical grounding, and students carry out internships supervised by a large pool of principal investigators, with a second internship often completed outside Utrecht as part of an international research collaboration. Two track coordinators advise students as they build a personalised study path from a wide range of internship placements, thesis topics and elective courses suited to their own interests and abilities.
