Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences – Research Master van de Universiteit van Groningen

In the Behavioural and Cognitive Neuroscience (BCN) research programme, you can study the function and mechanisms of the brain and behaviour from three different perspectives:

– Animal and Human Behavioural Neurosciences (B-track). Neurobiological, physiological, developmental and (epi)genetic processes are crucial to understand the evolution, function, causation and development of behaviour. Exploring these fields will provide insights in brain circuitry and processes driving human and animal behaviour.

– Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Modelling (C-track). By characterizing and modelling the functional and neural implementation of cognitive processes, a fundamental understanding of both the workings of the healthy brain and mind can be achieved, and of how cognitive functioning breaks down in case of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

– Molecular and Clinical Neuroscience (N-track). Investigating the molecular and cellular pathways contributes to understanding the neuronal basis of cognition and behaviour and is essential for the development of strategies to detect, treat or even prevent neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.

You will deepen your knowledge of the aims and methods of your chosen domain. In addition, thanks to integrated courses and links between tracks, you will get a unique opportunity to acquire multi-disciplinary skills and training in the neurosciences.

The focus of the BCN Research Master is to train students to become independent researchers. For this purpose, a large portion of the programme is devoted to two research projects (in total 70 ECTS) in which the students embed in research groups to conduct their own experiments. More than 75% enrol in PhD projects after graduation.

The BCN Research Master is the best-rated Neuroscience master programme of the Netherlands (Dutch Higher Education Guide 2019).


Brein in Beeld

Brein in Beeld (BiB, www.breininbeeld.org) is a foundation that translates (neuro)science into society. She aims to do so by organizing several activities for interested laymen, children (primary and secondary education) and elderly. The activities vary from discussion nights, lectures or movie nights.

BiB is only able to organize these activities with help of an outstanding group of volunteers (e.g. (PhD) students, post docs). Volunteers at BiB can be part of Team BiB kids (primary- and secondary education), BiB public (organizing activities for laymen), or BiB editorial (writing for laymen).

Four times a year BiB offers specialized trainings to their volunteers that are related to science communication.

To date science communication is highly important. Next to doing great science, scientists are also urged to translate their findings to society (valorization). As volunteer at BiB you will be educated and trained in science communication which will help you to become a great science communicator. Interested to become a volunteer? Please visit us on the market and meet our volunteers!

Cognitive Neuroscience – Research Master Radboud universiteit/ Donders Instituut

“Thanks to advanced brain-imaging techniques, scientists are now able to observe the human brain in action. Cognitive neuroscientists therefore no longer have to rely solely on patients with brain damage to ascertain which parts of the brains are involved in which tasks and functions. They can now conduct targeted experiments on healthy persons. As a result, the discipline has gained tremendous momentum over the past twenty years.

This research Master’s programme is open to students with Bachelor’s degrees in Linguistics, Physics, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics, Behavioural Sciences, Artificial Intelligence or a related discipline. It offers an in-depth theoretical background by internationally renowned scientists in the first year. The second year is dedicated to elaborate practical training in setting up, conducting and reporting research in cognitive neuroscience. A large majority of our graduates gain a PhD position, while other graduates find jobs in the commercial sector or at research institutes”.


Enza Zaden

Enza Zaden develops new vegetable varieties. These seeds are grown and sold all over the world. Did you know did 20 billion head of lettuces are grown from our lettuce seeds?

Wageningen University & Research – Master programmes

Programme Biology WUR

Biological issues are at the forefront of technological advances in today’s society and are central to global concerns about how we affect, and are affected by our environment. Understanding the complexity of biological systems at scales ranging from single molecules to whole ecosystems and from single generations to evolutionary timescales, provides a unique intellectual challenge. Students taking the MSc Biology programme aim to understand living systems to help preserve biodiversity and our environment, and to maintain human and animal health and welfare. Students taking the MSc Biology programme obtain a broad overview of the latest developments in the field, ranging from genes to ecosystems. They learn to critically discuss and reflect on current scientific advances.

Programme Health and Society WUR

About Health and Society

For many centuries, the care for individuals and population health has been the domain of medical science. However, it is widely recognised that modern health problems are complex and cannot be solved only by hospitals and medical doctors. Many diseases are related to lifestyles, the social and physical environment, access to information and the opportunities for making healthy choices.

With this study programme you will become an expert in:

– Being context-sensitive in the domains of science and health promotion.

– Taking into account the degree to which people have (financial) means for health protection and improvement. This is based on geographical orientation, social justice, and inequalities and inequities between regions.

– Embedding health and health promoting activities in social life.
