Research Methodology in Neuropsychology

Learn in a few weeks, the specific methodology of research in neuropsychology, from the best professionals in the sector"

The work of neuropsychology is complex. It covers a broad spectrum of intervention that requires the professional to have very specific training in the various branches of brain development. This discipline, deeply linked to neurology and the physiological study of the brain, is affected by the changes that the evolution of knowledge in this scientific branch achieves. This means for the professional an intense challenge of permanent updating that allows them to be at the forefront in terms of approach, intervention and follow-up of the cases that may arise in their consultation.

Throughout this training, the student will go through all the current approaches in the work of the neuropsychologist in the different challenges that his/her profession presents. 

The functioning of memory, language, the relationship between laterality and cognitive development, sensoriality and many other aspects, will be the topics of work and study that the student will be able to integrate in their training. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level.

This challenge is one of TECH's social commitments: to help highly qualified professionals to training and to develop their personal, social and labor competencies during the course of their training.

We will not only take you through the theoretical knowledge we offer, but we will introduce you to another way of studying and learning, one which is simpler, more organic and more efficient. We will work to keep you motivated and to create in you a passion for learning. And we will push you to think and develop critical thinking.

A training created for professionals who aspire to excellence and that will allow you to acquire new skills and strategies in a smooth and effective way"

This Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methodology in Neuropsychology contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the Postgraduate Certificate are:

• The latest technology in online teaching software
• A highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand
• Practical cases presented by practising experts
• State-of-the-art interactive video systems
• Teaching supported by telepractice
• Continuous updating and recycling systems
• Autonomous learning: full compatibility with other occupations
• Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification
• Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums
• Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Banks of complementary documentation permanently available, even after the course

From the choice of topic to the formulation of hypotheses, you will learn all the strengths of all research”

Our teaching staff is made up of working professionals. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professors with training and experience in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will bring their practical knowledge derived from their own experience in the course: one of the differential qualities of this Postgraduate Certificate. 

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used in the design of this course. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice learning: with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

An effective and proactive way to offer students new ways to improve and progress"

Become an agent of change in the educational system, working in line with real integration"

The contents of this training have been developed by the different Professors on this course, with a clear purpose: to ensure that our students acquire each and every one of the necessary skills to become true experts in this field.

The content of this course enables you to learn all aspects of the different disciplines involved in this field: A complete and well-structured program that will take you to the highest standards of quality and success. 

Our curriculum has been designed with teaching effectiveness in mind: so that you learn faster, more efficiently, and on a more permanent basis"
