The UAX Master's Degree in Educational Neuropsychology prepares you to understand how the brain works and to apply this knowledge to learning with scientific rigour. In a context in which approximately 15% of students have learning difficulties, it is essential to have professionals capable of detecting, assessing and intervening effectively.
Throughout the programme, you will learn to understand learning as an integral process, influenced by cognition, emotion, the body and the environment, in order to design evidence-based pedagogical interventions that can be applied from day one.
You will study key areas such as executive functions, memory, language and development, and you will specialise in learning disorders such as dyslexia, ADHD or ASD, from a scientific understanding of diversity in development and learning, without losing a global vision of the student body.
This master's degree prepares you to analyse and act on real educational situations through case studies and the design of interventions based on scientific evidence.
You will learn to make decisions based on neuroscience that have a direct impact on student learning, developing key skills such as critical thinking, effective communication and emotional self-regulation.
In addition, you will have access to a faculty of active professionals and internships in educational centres and specialised offices, in a training that boosts your professional and academic development (competitive examinations and doctorate).
You will develop specialised skills to transform educational practice based on neuroscience.
The Master's Degree in Educational Neuropsychology focuses on the specific aspects that neuropsychology brings to the field of education and trains its students in the pedagogy demanded by today's 21st century education.
The list of subjects allows students to receive comprehensive training in this field and enables them to face the educational challenges that arise in the classroom.

Neuroeducation, also known as neurodidactics, is an innovative educational discipline that focuses on the study of how the brain works during the teaching-learning process. It aims to understand how the brain develops and how it reacts to different stimuli, which are then converted into knowledge. This new educational perspective focuses on the implementation of educational strategies and technologies based on brain functioning, merging the fields of neuroscience, psychology and education to optimise the teaching and learning process.
In short, neuroeducation is defined as a bridge between neuroscience and educational sciences, where educational psychology plays a fundamental role. It is a scientific project that seeks to integrate knowledge about brain functioning with educational processes, with the aim of applying what is known about how the brain learns and what stimulates its development in the school environment.
Moreover, if you are an ICT lover, the Master's Degree in Educational Technology is an outstanding example of how technology can enhance and enrich teaching methodologies, adapting to the cognitive and emotional needs of students to improve their educational experience and promote more effective and meaningful learning.
