This master's degree goes beyond traditional theoretical programmes. It integrates functional neuroanatomy, specialised assessment, cognitive rehabilitation and clinical practice in a single approach, preparing you to perform functions of high care value in interdisciplinary teams.
You will learn to identify and quantify cognitive, emotional and behavioural deficits derived from brain injuries, mastering the most advanced neuropsychological tests and examinations. From a practical approach, you will be immersed in real clinical cases, developing personalised rehabilitation programmes and acquiring skills to advise patients, families and professionals.
The programme combines scientific rigour, clinical applicability and a holistic view of the patient. You will not only learn how to assess, but also how to design and implement evidence-based interventions. Upon completion, you will be able to work in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, private practices and multidisciplinary teams, positioning yourself as a highly specialised clinical profile.
Its 100% online nature allows you to combine your training with your professional activity, with a practical focus through active methodologies and a research-based Master's Thesis.
The programme equips you with the technical and strategic skills most in demand in the field of clinical neuropsychology. Through a practical and rigorous approach, you will be able to convert neuroscientific knowledge into effective and personalised interventions.
