specialisatie Psychology and Law

The specialisation in Psychology and Law is unique for the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Cognitive and - to a lesser extent - clinical psychology form the essentials of this specialisation. Questions that are typical for Psychology and Law are, for example: 'How reliable are eyewitness
testimonies?' or 'Do serious criminals have a brain dysfunction making them permanently dangerous to society?' Psychologists with a background in Psychology and Law ask questions that have
direct relevance to the legal arena and conduct research to address these questions.

specialisatie Work & Organisational Psychology

In the master’s specialisation in Work and Organisational Psychology, you’ll study how people behave in organisations and why they behave the way they do.

The programme combines theoretical knowledge about organisational psychology with practical applications that can be implemented in organisations.If you would like to talk with a current student about the programme.Then, you can contact our student ambassador on Instagram: www.instagram.com/umhealthmasterwop/

specialisatie Developmental Psychology

The master’s specialisation in Developmental Psychology will help you understand how certain behaviours and cognitive functions relate to a person’s psychological and biological constitution and the development of the brain. The cognitive-biological orientation of this programme is unique in Europe. You’ll study the most recent developmental theories and research findings. And you’ll learn to apply various diagnostic and research tools in the clinical field and developmental research. If you would like to talk with a current student about the programme.Then, you can contact our student ambassador on Instagram: www.instagram.com/umhealthmasterdp/

specialisatie Cognitive Neuroscience

In the Cognitive Neuroscience specialisation, you'll study the human brain and how it relates to cognition, perception and behaviour.

The programme combines in-depth knowledge on human brain function and cognition with practical training in applying non-invasive brain imaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI.

specialisatie Health and Social Psychology

In the specialisation in Health and Social Psychology, you'll study behaviour and behavioural change using methods from clinical and social psychology.

The main focus is on understanding how people’s personalities, cognitions and social environment influence their health and social functioning.If you would like to talk with a current student about the programme.Then, you can contact our student ambassador on Instagram: www.instagram.com/umhealthmasterhsp/

specialisatie Legal Psychology

This programme, the only one of its kind in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, includes courses on topics such as lie detection, eyewitness testimonies, interrogation techniques and false confessions. By combining theory with practical skills, you’ll be equipped with all the training you need to pursue a career in police investigation units, juvenile offenders’ institutions, child protective services and high-security forensic facilities.If you would like to talk with a current student about the programme.Then, you can contact our student ambassador on Instagram: www.instagram.com/umhealthmasterlp/

specialisatie Neuropsychology

The programme focuses on normal and deviant behaviour in relation to brain structure and function.

Much of the emphasis is on congenital, acquired or degenerative brain dysfunction, and related neuropsychiatric
disorders as well as on neuropharmacological mechanisms that underlie behaviour in health and disease. The curriculum combines in-depth
courses that provide you with the theoretical knowledge required for attaining advanced methodological and diagnostic skills. Both are necessary to pursue a clinical or research career
in the broad domain of neuropsychology.

onderwijsvormen

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) offers you a different way of learning from traditional university education.

You work in small tutorial groups, engage in hands-on training and attend (far) fewer lectures. Under the supervision of a tutor, you team up with ten to fifteen students to tackle real-life challenges.

studeren in het buitenland

The faculty givees you the opportunity to do your internship abroad. Therefore we have contacts with several institutions worldwide.

aan het woord: studenten en docenten

“When I decided to follow the master's in Neuropsychology, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I had taken some electives in my third year that made me choose Neuropsychology because of my interest in neurology and the clinical field.

The first six months of theoretical courses were inspiring, particularly Cognitive Aging. The ageing brain was something I didn't know much about, yet the subject fascinated me (perhaps also due to its inevitable personal relevance). Enough reason for me to look for a research internship in this field...

Pascal van Gerven. Although I was a bit nervous at first, interacting with the participants has been an amazing learning experience.

I'm still unsure what psychological career to pursue after finishing this master's, but I am confident that the skills and knowledge I've acquired over the past year will prove to be of great value.”
