In-depth knowledge of neurodevelopment and its multiple implications in a comprehensive Advanced master’s degree, created to propel you to another professional level"  

The Advanced master’s degree in Clinical Neuropsychology, Hypnosis and Emotional Wellness has a complete program that is structured in these three areas. In this way, the psychologist will be able to acquire the skills to master the neurological and biochemical mechanisms that occur in mental illness and health. In addition, you will be able to hypnotize your patients in real time, i.e. you will be able to include clinical hypnosis in your daily work and, in this way, not only be more effective, but also achieve this effectiveness in less time; all this, at the same time that will benefit the emotional wellness of patients. 

The understanding of the chemical and anatomical structures involved in each of the processes within the field of health and also of mental disorders, provides a global vision necessary for true mastery in the discernment of the human being. 

Good knowledge of how our brains work is essential for understanding mental illness and discovering solutions for these problems. For its part, the technique of clinical hypnosis has become a recommended tool for treating patients with certain pathologies, such as stress or mental disorders. In addition, other techniques, related to working on emotions, allow patients to recover from certain pathologies in a more effective way. 

Throughout this specialization, the student will go through all the current approaches in the work of the neuropsychologist in the different challenges that his/her profession presents. 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 specialize and develop their personal, social and work skills during the course of their studies.

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 efficient. We will work to keep you motivated and to develop your passion for learning. Furthermore, we will push you to think and develop critical thinking.
