The aim of the four-semester study programme MSc in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology (NCP) is to train a select group of about 20 students each year (recruited from around the world) in both methodological and conceptual topics in this neuroscience-oriented discipline of psychology, and to provide an education that competes with the best international programmes.
In the first two semesters, students study an optimally structured broad curriculum, learning state-of-the-art basic scientific knowledge. The second part of the programme provides students with the opportunity to specialise and expand their knowledge in particular modules by participating in one full-time research project and in advanced optional courses on current research topics in the third semester. The fourth semester is set aside for the writing of the Master's thesis.
More detailed information is provided on the NCP website: https://www.psy.lmu.de/ncp/
In one full-time, supervised research project (the topic of which is derived from the context of the supervisor's current research and which is to be completed during the break between the second and third semester), students have the opportunity to bring together their acquired conceptual and methodological/technical knowledge and skills in independent work, under the guidance of their supervisor.
