Master in M2 Cognition, Behavior and Mental Disorders

For Master in M2 Cognition, Behavior and Mental Disorders, the deadline to apply for the Jul 2027 intake is Apr 4, 2027.

Students interested in cognitive neuroscience, with a keen focus on the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive functions, will thrive in this two-year master’s program. The curriculum covers key areas such as brain plasticity, psychiatric disorders, social cognition, and the gut-brain axis, with a strong emphasis on practical and theoretical teaching units. The program's first semester includes six mandatory modules, including 'Brain plasticity, learnings and memories,' 'Psychiatric disorders: translational approaches and treatments,' and 'Social cognition in normal and pathophysiological conditions,' as well as four elective units. Students will also engage in a six-month research internship during the second semester, allowing them to delve deeper into their theoretical knowledge and gain advanced technical skills in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in research, clinical settings, or further doctoral studies, with a particular focus on those who aim to shape their own path in neuroscience research and development.
