Researchers in Cognitive Science come from a wide range of backgrounds -- including psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, mathematics, neuroscience, and others -- but share the common goal of a better understanding of the human mind.

The program prepares students for future fundamental research in various medical fields in which neuroscience becomes increasingly important; these include neurology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, neuro-oncology, otolaryngology, psychiatry and gerontology. The program combines a broad range of tutorials and workshops in neuro-anatomy, neurophysiology, molecular biology, psychology and psychiatry. The positioning of this Master of Science in Neuroscience program within the Neuroscience Institute of the Erasmus MC provides an excellent basis for training in the fundamental Neurosciences. Students will become acquainted with all facets of modern Neuroscience research. Within the Neuroscience Institute brain functions are studied at many levels varying from individual genes to complex systems, from peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, from autonomic functions to consciousness, and from synaptic transmission to neuronal firing patterns. In addition, integration with clinical departments of the Erasmus MC and the faculty of Psychology of the Erasmus University offers the opportunity for the students to be introduced to all clinical and cognitive disciplines of Neuroscience.

All lectures are taught in English. However, when only Dutch students attend a lecture and the teacher is Dutch as well, it will be taught in Dutch.

This relatively young discipline seeks to unravel the workings of the human brain. What happens in our brains when we do what we do? How is this fascinating, unbelievably complex ‘microcosmos’ inside our skulls organized? How do those billions of nerve cells collaborate in an organ no bigger than half a football? Thanks to brain imaging - a technology for measuring and imaging brain activity - scientists are now able to observe the human brain in action. In their research, cognitive neuroscientists are therefore no longer totally dependent on patients with brain damage if they want to ascertain which parts of the brains are involved in which tasks and functions. Nowadays, it is also possible to conduct targeted experiments on healthy persons. As a result of this revolutionary development the discipline has gained tremendous momentum over the past twenty years. As many already know, cognitive neuroscience is the discipline of the future.

Both tracks will lead to the title Master of Neuroscience and Cognition. Each track has it's own specific outline.

In addition to a broad interdisciplinary training, students receive a comprehensive education in one of four specialisations within the programme. The programme is a joint venture of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Sciences at Maastricht University. It is designed for excellent students who wish to continue their graduate studies in preparation for a career in research. This two-year, internationally oriented programme is taught entirely in English.

It includes the study of perception, learning, memory, knowledge, meaning, reasoning, language, attention, affect, consciousness, and the control of action. The field is deeply rooted in Psychology, Biology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Computer Sciences, and other fields. A number of traditional disciplines have contributed important methods and insights to Cognitive Science, making research and the institutional organization of the field highly interdisciplinary.
