31 Master's degrees in Neuroscience in Netherlands

In the Neuropsychology programme at Utrecht University, you will learn how to work together with other behavioural and medical professionals. 

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.

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).

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!

The Master's specialisation in Language and communication aims to understand the complexity of human language faculty and its development at the behavioural, cognitive, and neural levels in healthy individuals as well as in populations with dysfunction in linguistic and communication skills.

On the Brain and Cognition programme from Erasmus University Rotterdam you will examine cognitive and emotional processes in the brain.

The Master's specialisation in Natural computing & neurotechnology integrates theoretical, computational, experimental, and technological research at the Donders Institute and has as its scientific mission to uncover fundamental mechanisms of brain function. This common mission is realized via two distinct complementary research lines.

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? The Master's specialisation in Development and Lifelong Plasticity focuses on plasticity, referring to the capacity to continuously alter neural structure and function in response to experience or injury.

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? The Master's specialisation in Perception, Action and Decision-making investigates the neural and cognitive mechanisms that allow us to perceive the world, to translate these sensations into action plans, and to decide how to enact these plans.

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.

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. Learn about the organisation and functioning of the brain.

In the Neurobiology (Biomedical Sciences) programme from the University of Amsterdam, you study the brain at the intersection of neuroscience, medicine and the life sciences. Choose one of four specialised tracks and develop the knowledge and research skills to investigate the healthy and diseased brain.

Become an expert on the relationship between the brain and behavior. Clinical Neuropsychology operates at the crossroads of various psychological disciplines, such as clinical (neuro)psychology, clinical neuroscience, and applied neuroscience. You will examine the neurological and neuropsychological characteristics of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and brain conditions.

With the Neuroscience master programme from Erasmus University Rotterdam, combine high quality theoretical knowledge with extensive neuroscience research training. Become a researcher with capacity to further advance biomedical (clinical) and basic neuroscience 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.

You’ll study normal and deviant behaviour in relation to brain structure and function. Learn about congenital, acquired or degenerative brain dysfunctions; related neuropsychiatric disorders; and neuropharmacological mechanisms that underlie behaviour on Psychology - Neuropsychology at Maastricht University.

You will study current trends in cognitive neuroscience by reading the latest research papers. You will take a researcher’s perspective and critically evaluate cutting-edge research. How solid are claims made by researchers and companies? And how can we take the latest trends even further? We offer a master degree in Applied Cognitive Neuroscience at University of Groningen. 

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. 

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. 

The Biomedical Sciences - Neurobiology programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam enables you to conduct research within the broad spectrum of biomedical sciences.
