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.

Conservation and Restoration Ecology
Focus on the relationships between different communities within an ecosystem. Find out how they respond to environmental stress and unravel ecosystem dynamics. Use these insights to contribute to nature conservation and restoration.

Economics - Economics, Behaviour and Policy
Making (economic) policy smarter and effective as advisor, policy maker or manager? Introducing psychology, political science and sociology in governmental and non-governmental policy design will bridge the gap between theory and practice.

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.

Linguistics and Communication Sciences (Research)
People communicate by means of language. They do so effortlessly most of the time, which is miraculous given the complexity of language, language processing and communication. Studying this phenomenon asks for a broad multidisciplinary perspective.

Environment and Society Studies - Global Environment and Sustainability
This specialisation focuses on the global level of sustainability transformations, such as international agreements and initiatives on climate change, biodiversity and nature conservation on land and in oceans. You will learn how to critically analyse international negotiations.

Computing Science
The enormous power of IT is the main driving force shaping modern society, going beyond the technical and economic aspects. In this programme, you can study the design and analysis of software, machine learning and big data, cyber security, or the logic and mathematics behind computation, but also the interplay between these areas. Choose from seven specialisations.

Quantum Matter
From individual molecules to complex solids: in this Quantum Matter from Radboud University, you will study matter on a fundamental quantum-physical level and discover collective and emergent quantum phenomena for future technologies. Using theory or experiments, or both.

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.

Philosophy, Politics and Society
The Master's specialisation Philosophy, Politics and Society offers advanced courses in applied and socially engaged philosophy, exploring current debates in climate ethics, biopolitics, the role of values in science, and the nature–culture divide.

Science, Management and Innovation
In the Science, Management and Innovation course at Radboud University you will gain expertise in societal challenges, work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learn the ability to speak the language of policy and business.

Business Administration - International Business
This specialisation of Business Administration will provide you with the tools and insights required to understand the complex and dynamic environments in which multinationals operate, by combining insights from economics and business administration.

Medical Epigenomics
In this Medical Epigenomics course at Radboud University, you’ll look at a cell as one big and complex system. You’ll study epigenetic mechanisms during development and disease from different angles. This includes studying DNA and RNA by next-generation sequencing (epigenomics) and analysing proteins by mass spectrometry (proteomics).

Political Science - Global Political Economy
In a world where new economic powers are reshaping global hierarchies, geopolitical tensions intensify by the day. Master the analytical tools to decode how shifting economic power balances influence everything, from global supply chains to trade wars, from climate diplomacy to green investments. Understand what happens in the global economy beyond the surface and understand why and who benefits.

Science in Society
Are you concerned about what is going on in the world? Do you have an interest in people, policies, science and society? In this Science in Society programme from Radboud University, you study the relevance of science in society using theoretical principles and practical examples.

Business Administration
Our programme in Business Administration is designed to impart you with the skills to design and implement organisational strategies and structures with the aim to create social and economic value.

Language Variation and Multilingualism
In this Master's specialisation, you learn to become a competent linguist who has an understanding of language variation and multilingualism, two central and interrelated topics within linguistics.

Biology
Would you like to specialise in organismal stress adaptation? Or in ecosystem dynamics, so that you can contribute to species protection and nature recovery? You could also dive into environmental modelling or walk the line between biological and medical (micro)biology. Choose a specialisation to define your field of interest within Biology.

Business Administration - Organisation Design and Change Management
How can you design and change organisations to deliver societally responsible and economically valuable contributions? Learn to successfully mobilise action in organisations to address contemporary societal challenges.

Human Geography - Conflicts, Territories and Identities
How do we make sense of conflict and in/security? What are the causes that spark violence and war? And how are war, terrorism and in/security framed and what shapes do they take in practice at local, regional, national and international levels? How do territorial and identity issues shape and are shaped by conflict, violence and insecurity?
