The study programme in a nutshell
The Psychology curriculum consists of a series of modules or courses. Every course covers one specific psychological theme. All of the activities that you will undertake during this course, i.e. lectures, tutorials, practical meetings and assignments, are related to this theme. The master programme consists of three courses in which you will study the topics of the specialisation of Brain and Cognition and one course in statistics.
In the second semester, from February onwards, you will conduct an empirical study and write your master’s thesis. Please click on one of the courses in the programme overview below to see the course descriptions.

The elective component can be filled with a combination of an elective course (5 EC), a practical internship (10 EC or 15 EC) and a longer Master's thesis (30 EC instead of 20 EC).

Advanced Quantitative Methods
Placement in the electives is based on a matching system that takes your preferences as well as course capacity into account. This matching system aims to generate the best possible outcome for all students. We aim to place you in a preferred elective, and historically most students receive one, but placements in a specific elective cannot be guaranteed.
