The master’s specialisation in Clinical Neuropsychology provides a theoretical background and practical training in neuropsychology and (clinical) neuropsychological research.

There is increasing recognition of the role neuropsychologists play in the management of brain diseases. The demand for their services is becoming greater as the population ages and medical (neuro)technology advances. Neuropsychologists assess and treat the cognitive, emotional and behavioural consequences of brain dysfunction.

Pre-master’s

Students with a bachelor’s degree that is not in Psychology or students with a Dutch higher professional education (HBO) degree may apply for the pre-master’s programme. This one-year programme is taught in Dutch.

More information can be found on the Psychology website (in Dutch).

“The pre-master’s prepares you for one of the specialisations, after which you can carry on directly to your chosen programme. This way I could get my master’s in two years.”
