Neurosciences for Teachers

Be at the forefront of the field of education with the support of Neurosciences applied to teaching and discover a new and exciting way to approach your profession"

This Professional Master’s Degree in Neurosciences for Teachers offers a broad and comprehensive vision of the complex world of Neurosciences from an applied perspective. Starting from the biological principles and neuroimaging techniques, the different practical approaches existing in this discipline are collected.

In this program, the teaching professional will learn to understand and interpret the Neurosciences in order to apply them to their teaching experience.

During the specialization, two types of neuropsychological programs will be covered: the eminently biological ones focused on the neuronal principles and genetics of the brain, and the exclusively clinical programs, where the problems associated with pathologies affecting the brain and neurodegenerative diseases will be studied in depth. This bilateral approach facilitates better understanding of the functioning of Neurosciences from different fields, so that professionals have different options available to them.

This Professional Master’s Degree addresses the new branches of Neuroscience that are currently under development, both theoretical and applied, such as Neuromarketing and Neuroeducation, and introduces the new branches that, in a few years, will be highly demanded by different sectors, such as Neuroeconomics or Neuroleadership. These emerging areas have not yet been included in typical educational programs, making this program a unique opportunity that will provide teachers with exclusive training.

Students will have access to the latest advances in Neurosciences with the most complete theoretical contents and through a developed learning system supported by practice. As a result, at the end of their specialization, they will be able to incorporate everything they have learned into their work.

A qualitative advantage over other professionals in the sector that will make it easier for teaching professionals to enter the job market or get a promotion, with extensive theoretical and practical knowledge that will improve their professional skills.
