| Description/content | Are you interested in the neurocognitive and biological roots of learning, behaviour and emotions in children? If so, the programme in Applied Neuroscience in Human Development might be the specialisation you are looking for. Part of • Education and Child Studies (MSc) About the programme Are you interested in the neurocognitive and biological roots of learning, behaviour and emotions in children? If so, the programme in Applied Neuroscience in Human Development might be the specialisation you are looking for. Applied Neuroscience in Human Development is one of the eight specialisations of the Master’s programme in Education and Child Studies that you can choose at Leiden University. About brain functioning and stress regulation The primary focus in the curriculum of the master specialisation Applied Neuroscience in Human Development is on how knowledge about brain functioning and stress regulation can contribute to educational practice, clinical work, family interventions, and – conversely – how these applications can contribute to optimal neurocognitive and biological functioning. Acquired knowledge and skills As a graduate you will have acquired knowledge and skills in: • The basics of the functional anatomy of the brain, the development of the brain and nervous system, and genetic and environmental factors influencing cognitive development and functioning; • Methods and instruments for measuring and studying the quality of the (central) nervous system, such as EEG, brain imaging techniques such as MRI, parameters of the arousal system such as heart rate and skin conductance, eye tracking, genetics and the hormone system; • Possibilities for prevention and intervention aimed at optimizing brain functioning and the regulation of thought, emotions and behavior. Programme structure The programme of Applied Neuroscience in Human Development is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach. It consists of five substantive courses devoted to the following subjects: 1. Developmental clinical neuroscience 2. Learning, cognition and the brain 3. Neuroscience in clinical assessment and treatment 4. Child abuse and neglect, neurobiological aspects and intervention 5. Methods and instruments in cognitive and affective neuroscience In addition, you are trained in research methods and statistics. Research Internship An important part of the master specialisation Applied Neuroscience in Human Development is the internship. The research internship is an ‘on the job’ training in doing research, with a focus on getting experienced with using neuroscience methods and techniques – cognitive paradigms, EEG/ERP, heart rate, skin conductance, neuroendocrine measures, eye tracking – for data collection and data analysis. Master Project You conclude the specialisation Applied Neuroscience in Human Development with your Master Project, in which you conduct a research in the domain of this specialisation. You write an individual thesis about this research and also give a presentation about it. |

| Academic admission requirements | General diploma requirements Holders of one of the following degrees may be admitted to one of the specialisations of the programme: • a Bachelor’s degree Pedagogische Wetenschappen from Leiden University; • a research (i.e. not a professional) Bachelor’s degree programme in the field of Education and Child Studies, provided this programme contains (1) at least 20 ec in research methods and statistics of social and behavioral sciences and the use of data analyse software, and (2) at least 60 ec in Education and Child or Education and Child Studies relevant subjects. • Also admitted may be those who have successfully completed the Pre-master’s programme Pedagogische Wetenschappen (taught in Dutch) from Leiden University. • the Board of Admissions of the Institute of Education and Child Studies may, on request, admit persons to the Master’s programme who do not meet the requirements specified above, but who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board of Admissions that they possess the same level of knowledge, understanding and skills as holders of a degree specified above, and possibly under further conditions. Admission requirements Pre-master For Dutch hbo students only Students in possession of a bachelor’s or master’s degree from a Dutch institute of higher professional education must pass an entrance examination to be admitted to the Pre-master’s programme in Education and Child Studies. After passing the entrance examination they can follow the Pre-master’s programme and subsequently the Master’s programme. All courses in the Pre-master’s and Master’s programme take place during the day and require a full-time study commitment. The Pre-master’s is taught in Dutch only. Master’s admissions: exceptional circumstances For admission to the Master’s programme Education and Child Studies, you need a Bachelor’s diploma. This is necessary, because a Bachelor’s programme provides a solid base to be able to follow all our Master’s courses, so you will not have to experience study delay. In the exceptional situation that on 31 August 2020, your exam results for the Bachelor’s programme are still incomplete, you will get extra time to deliver the missing results, until 1 October 2020. Awaiting these final results, you will be allowed to follow Master’s courses between 1 September and 1 October. If you do not succeed at delivering your final results by 1 October, you will not be able to proceed with the Master’s programme. In that case, you can take a few extra months to get your Bachelor’s degree, and we will gladly welcome you to start the Master’s programme on February 1, 2021. |

| Accommodation | Yes |

| Accommodation Details | Like many universities in the Netherlands, Leiden University does not have a central campus or student dormitories. Instead, our faculties are spread throughout the cities of Leiden and The Hague and students live in accommodation rented via housing organisations and landlords. In general, students are expected to arrange their own housing. However, for international students, Leiden University Housing Office reserves a limited number of rooms each year for early applicants. The number of housing applications always greatly exceeds the number of reserved rooms. We therefore strongly recommend that prospective students also explore alternative ways of finding accommodation well before arriving in the Netherlands.For more details please check here*https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/education/international-students/prepare-your-stay/housing |
