The master in Cognitive Neuroscience is particularly suited to students interested in
understanding the neural correlates of the cognitive processes as well as the relationship
between the development of the mind and the brain. The aim is to train students with a
psychology major (BA) with the perspectives from cognitive neuroscience, cognitive
psychology, and developmental neuroscience as well as hands-on training in research
methods. The course trains students to carry out research in cognitive neuroscience offering
high-level teaching, space to practical supervised activity in didactic and professional labs
and the possibility to carry out an experimental thesis at the research labs of our Department
and in partner institutions. The master features twelve courses that offer a high level of
specific preparation (87 ECTS), practical training activities (20 ECTS) and an experimental
thesis (13 ECTS) for a total of 120 ECTS. The Master course is open to a maximum of 40
students per year.
