specialisaties
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.

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.

aan het woord: studenten en docenten
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).
