Description

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"

##IMAGE##

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.

Professional Master's Degree in Neuroscience for Teachers

In order to understand the functioning and structure of the nervous system from different approaches, especially its relationship with education, at TECH Technological University we have developed a Professional Master's Degree in Neuroscience for Teachers. Our goal is to qualify education professionals to understand the learning processes that occur in the brain and that determine how we respond to stimuli from teachers, which are subsequently transformed into knowledge. We also delve into the integration of the sciences of education, such as pedagogy, with those that deal with neurological development, specifically higher cognitive functions.

Specialize in Neuroeducation

In addition to studying aspects related to neuropsychology, neuromarketing, neuroeconomics and other branches of applied neurosciences, in the postgraduate programs of TECH's Faculty of Education we address the specialized learning in Neuroeducation. In this sense, our teaching team, internationally recognized by prestigious scientific societies, offers teaching related to the neural bases of learning, brain education models, cognitive processes related to emotion and the socialization of knowledge, the generation of deep learning and gamification in educational processes. In this way, teachers graduated from TECH Technological University will be able to apply the latest advances in Neuroscience in their respective classrooms.
