The world's largest faculty of psychology”
Introduction to the Program
The deep knowledge of Research in Educational Neuropsychology and its multiple implications, in a complete Master's Degree created to propel you to another professional level"
The work in 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. For professionals, this means an intense challenge of continuous updating that allows them to be at the forefront in terms of approach, intervention and monitoring of the cases that may arise in their practice.
Throughout this program, the student will go through all the current approaches in the field of neuropsychological research, from the basic starting points to the application of conclusions and the materialization of novel interventions.
With a fundamentally practical approach, this Master's Degree will allow students to develop their own project during the specialization, becoming not only a moment of study, but also a time for acquiring experience.
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 social commitments: to help prepare highly qualified professionals and develop their personal, social and labor competencies during the course.
This challenge is one of TECH social commitments: to help prepare highly qualified professionals and develop their personal, social and labor competencies during the course. TECH works to maintain motivation and to create a passion for learning. It also encourages thinking and the development of critical thinking.
A program created for professionals who aspire to excellence and that will allow them to acquire new skills and strategies in a smooth and effective way”
The Master's Degree in Research in Educational Neuropsychology contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features include:
- 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
- Complementary documentation banks permanently available, even after the course
A deep and complete immersion in the strategies and approaches of the Neuropsychology of Education"
Our teaching staff is made up of working professionals. That way, TECH ensures to offer the updating objective it intends to provide. A multidisciplinary team of doctors trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put at the service of the course the practical knowledge derived from their own experience: one of the differential qualities of this Master's Degree.
This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodology used in the design of this Master's Degree. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. In this way, the students will be able to study with a set of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give them the operability they need in their 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: with the help of an innovative interactive video system and Learning from an Expert, the students will be able to acquire the knowledge as if they were facing the scenario they are learning at that moment. A concept that will make it possible to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

Master’s Degree in Research in Educational Neuropsychology
The scope of neuropsychology within the educational system has proven to be of immeasurable value, both through its interventions in cases of students with cognitive dysfunctions and through its numerous contributions to optimizing pedagogical models. The development of this discipline, where psychology and neuroscience converge, represents a gateway to the advancement of education in its most distinguished sense. For this reason, TECH Global University has developed the Master’s Degree in Research in Educational Neuropsychology: a program designed to complement the work of psychologists. Its objective is not only to update and deepen knowledge about brain structures and their emotional-behavioral connections but also to provide new theoretical-practical approaches and research frameworks to improve classroom learning methodologies. This program is delivered in a fully virtual format, allowing you to manage your time and study pace, and is based on a novel and immersive teaching model. If you are looking to give your career a successful boost, TECH is the answer.
Study a Master’s Degree in neuropsychology for education
Ongoing discoveries about how the brain interacts with the external world are giving rise to new paradigms in the approach and understanding of various mental processes. Professionals in fields that rely on aspects of the mind, such as cognition (e.g., psychology and teaching), must therefore remain constantly updated. In this regard, our Master’s Degree will serve as an ideal foundation for professional growth, as you can even balance your training with other activities due to its flexible system. The program covers a total of ten modules, including: the foundations of neuroscience; memory processes, skills, and ICTs; motor skills, laterality, and writing; neurolinguistic processes, difficulties, and intervention programs; dyslexia, dyscalculia, and hyperactivity, among other relevant concepts that will be extremely useful. Enroll with us and discover why we are ranked as one of the best online universities in the world.
