25 Master's degrees in Cognitive Science in Netherlands
Work and Organisational Psychology
Work and Organisational Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam emphasises organisational psychology and the role of emotions in modern organisations. Furthermore, new methods in personnel selection are examined in this master.
Brain and Cognitive Sciences
The Brain and Cognitive Sciences programme of the University of Amsterdam offers a broad selection of tracks that investigate all aspects of the field, from the molecule to the mind. The programme is unique in its interdisciplinary perspective that incorporates the fields of neuroscience, neurology, psychology, behavioural economics, linguistics, logic, computation and philosophy.

Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence
This 2-year Master's program combines knowledge of cognitive science and artificial intelligence with techniques such as advanced deep learning, deep reinforcement learning and Bayesian modeling. You will investigate various aspects of intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, perception, communication and collaboration from both a human perspective and a machine perspective.

Communication and Information Sciences - Communication and Cognition
In this track of the Communication and Information Sciences - Communication and Cognition at Tilburg University you will combine the study of cognition, language and communication to learn which factors determine whether communication will be successful.
Cognitive Neuropsychology (Research)
The Cognitive Neuropsychology (Research) programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam combines both disciplines to comprehend how the elusive processes that play out in our mind relate to the structure and function of our brain.
Psychology - Cognitive Neuroscience
At Psychology - Cognitive Neuroscience from Maastricht University you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of human brain function and cognition, and you'll get practical training in the application of non-invasive brain imaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI.

Artificial Intelligence - Machine Learning and Neural Computing
Are you driven to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence and understand the inner workings of the brain? This AI Master’s specialisation enables you to explore both. Shape the future of AI by developing smarter AI systems and building advanced brain-inspired technologies.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research)
The Cognitive Neuroscience - Development and Lifelong Plasticity (Research) Master's track at Radboud University studies the mechanistic underpinnings and behavioural consequences of long-term changes in neural structure and function.

Development and Socialisation in Childhood and Adolescence
The Master’s programme in Development and Socialisation in Childhood and Adolescence at Utrecht University focuses on both normal and abnormal development processes. Explicit attention is given to the study of interventions and risk factors in children’s and adolescent’s cognitive and social-emotional development and adjustment.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience from Maastricht University provides six top training tracks in Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience for students aiming to become high-level researchers in academia, or envisioning a career in industrial, governmental, clinical, or other work environments.
Applied Cognitive Psychology
At this Applied Cognitive Psychology MSc programme at Leiden University you develop all the practical and academic skills necessary to apply psychological knowledge to real-life problems in working environments and organisations.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research)
The acquisition and comprehension of language are based on extremely complex cognitive processes which are not yet entirely understood. It’s these processes, and their biological underpinnings, that form psycholinguistics’ field of study and are the basis of the Cognitive Neuroscience - Language and Communication (Research) programme at Radboud University.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Perception, Action and Decision-making (research)
The research Master's in Cognitive Neuroscience - Perception, Action and Decision-making (research) at Radboud University studies the basic sensorimotor aspects of perception-action coupling as well as the cognitive contextual and social components.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Fundamental Neuroscience
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Fundamental Neuroscience from Maastricht University combines theoretical background with practical experience in research at the interface of biology and psychology. The fundamental molecular mechanisms of psychological processes, as well as neurological and psychiatric disorders are investigated.

Cognitive Neuroscience - Natural Computing and Neurotechnology (Research)
This track studies the interaction between and within groups of neurons, and how they affect our interactions with the outside world. You’ll gain knowledge of the anatomical and neurophysiological aspects of networks in the human brain and the techniques for the computational analysis and modelling of brain networks.
Computational Cognitive Science
The Master's degree programme in Computational Cognitive Science from University of Groningen focuses on Cognitive Science and its applications.
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Drug Development and Neurohealth
Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Drug Development and Neurohealth from Maastricht University provides a theoretical background and practical experience in pharmaceutical drug research & development, medicinal nutrition and personalised healthcare.
Artificial Intelligence - Cognitive Science
The Artificial Intelligence - Cognitive Science programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam explores the interdisciplinary study of the mind and cognition, combining insights from AI, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy.

Artificial Intelligence for Psychological Research
This 2-year Master’s program combines AI and computational methods to study human behavior. Gain expertise in computational psychology and advanced data analysis, turning complex behavioral challenges into actionable insights. Develop a research mindset to tackle societal issues and prepare for a career in research.
Neuroscience and Cognition
Are you interested in doing research to better understand normal and pathological brain function? Do you want to become a specialist in the field of neurosciences? The Neuroscience and Cognition programme at Utrecht University offers you the opportunity to investigate numerous areas of brain functioning that make the neuroscience and cognition field uniquely intriguing and challenging.
