Overview

Key facts

The Neuro-Cognitive Psychology program at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich is an interdisciplinary field of research and education that aims to answer classic questions in cognitive psychology about basic psychological and performance functions in humans and their neuronal implementation. Experimental psychological methods are used in combination with established methods from the neurosciences such as eye movement measurement, electroencephalography, functional imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation and computer modelling.

The more research-oriented and consecutive Master's degree course in Neuro-cognitive Psychology focuses on this integrative approach towards a neuroscience-oriented, experimental psychology for the investigation of brain-behaviour relationships. Consequently, the teaching focus is on general and experimental psychology with corresponding teaching and research contributions from the neighbouring disciplines of medicine (neurophysiology and anatomy, psychiatry, neurology), mathematics (computational modelling) and philosophy (neurophilosophy). The Master's degree programme in Neuro-cognitive Psychology aims to deepen students' scientific qualifications in the field of psychology in terms of extended research skills and thus enable them to work in research-related fields at scientific institutions. To this end, you will acquire in-depth theoretical knowledge of the determinants of cognitive processes and their investigation, which you will practise and expand through special methods courses, a project lasting several weeks in conjunction with research groups and a research-oriented Master's thesis.
