In recent years we have seen rapid developments in the neurosciences as well as the behavioural and computer sciences that are all aimed at gaining a better understanding of the processes involved in the acquisition and use of knowledge in humans and animals, as well as in artificial systems. In the Research Master Brain and Cognitive Sciences we bring together various educational tracks that are all concerned with what is also often called Cognitive Science. We strongly believe that a top-level training in each of these fields requires a basic understanding of the developments in other areas of Cognitive Science. The programme that we offer consists of three tracks; Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. Within each track, there are a number of obligatory courses but there is also ample opportunity to tailor the programme to a student's individual profile. In a nutshell: the present Master programme aims to train students to become experts in their specific subfield of the Brain and Cognitive Sciences but with a clear understanding and appreciation of the contribution made by the other subfields.
