Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate you will acquire a broad specialization in the impact that neural development can have in determining the appearance of a psychopathology in your patients” 

Psychology and Neurosciences are two very complex disciplines with multiple links. However, it is a fact that some of these interrelationships have been little studied or, at least, many times professionals more dedicated to one than to the other, have not addressed in depth the points of contact between them. In daily clinical practice, this leads to many cases where patients are diagnosed in an inaccurate manner or are simply completely ruled out as being affected by some neuropsychological condition without this being true.

For this reason, more and more professionals from both fields are looking for up-to-date knowledge about this close relationship between both disciplines. All this with the premise of putting these skills at the service of people whose disorders have not been properly identified or, even, with the desire to provide new research in this line.

This is why TECH has created a comprehensive program titled Neurosciences in Psychology. A 100% online program that in its syllabus covers topics such as the functioning of the nervous system and neurons, the hemispheric differences of the brain and its neurochemical principles. In addition, the syllabus delves into myelination and the impact of vision in defining people's responses to certain stimuli.

The study of this academic itinerary is developed over 6 intensive weeks. During this period of time, psychologists who join the course have guaranteed access to an exclusive and very complete Virtual Campus. A teaching platform that meets the most disruptive standards of 100% online teaching, equipped with explanatory videos, interactive summaries, complementary readings and many other teaching materials.

At the same time, the contents of the university program will be available 24 hours a day, so that it is the graduate who determines when to use them, according to their individual schedules and obligations. It will also have the Relearning system, a method in which TECH is a pioneer that facilitates the assimilation of concepts through repetition.

Get up to date on the different aspects of this TECH program asynchronously, without tight schedules from the device of your choice with an Internet connection”

This Postgraduate certificate in Neurosciences in Psychology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Practical cases presented by experts in Psychology
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

A Postgraduate certificate based on the disruptive Relearning method that allows you to strengthen the mastery of complex concepts through repetition”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this specializing program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

This syllabus will allow you to analyze how the visual system and cortex are studied by the Neurosciences to clarify the mechanisms involved in perception and human responses"

You will learn how neuronal plasticity allows adaptations and learning, allowing the brain to respond to various changes and stimuli"

This Postgraduate certificate in Neurosciences in Psychology delves into the essential principles of the nervous system, from the structure and function of neurons to synaptic communication, key in cognitive processes. It also covers brain development, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and plasticity, which allows adaptation and learning. In addition, the syllabus delves into the neurochemistry of the brain, where neurohormones play a crucial role in emotional and behavioral regulation, providing a comprehensive view of brain function. All this through an exclusive methodology that combines the Relearning system with the Case Method, in a 100% online learning environment.  

You will have various multimedia resources, such as explanatory videos and interactive summaries, to address the neurochemistry of the brain and its impact on psychological processes”
