With this 100% online program, you will design educational interventions based on neuropsychological principles to optimize the comprehensive development of students”

The advancement of Clinical Neuropsychology has allowed for a greater understanding of the brain processes involved in learning, behavior, and child development. This discipline provides valuable insights for the educational context, particularly in the identification and support of students with neurocognitive difficulties. For this reason, it is essential for educators to master the use of the most modern neuropsychological tools to design pedagogical interventions tailored to students' needs, enabling a more effective and inclusive response to functional diversity in the classroom.

With this in mind, TECH Global University presents a revolutionary program in Clinical Neuropsychology. The academic itinerary will delve into the principles of neuroanatomy, as well as the neurological foundations of cognitive functions. Additionally, the syllabus will address the primary disorders affecting attention, memory, language, and executive functions. In line with this, the educational materials will provide various strategies for designing pedagogical interventions tailored to students' cognitive profiles. As such, graduates will be equipped to accurately identify the neuropsychological manifestations that interfere with the learning process, proposing solutions based on scientific evidence

Moreover, TECH has implemented a high-quality, 100% online curriculum, which requires only an electronic device with an internet connection to access all the educational materials, avoiding issues such as commuting to a physical location or adjusting to a set schedule. In addition, it will utilize the disruptive Relearning methodology, which consists of the repetition of key concepts for optimal and organic content assimilation.

You will foster inclusive school environments based on a deep understanding of functional diversity from a neuropsychological perspective”

This Master's Degree in Clinical Neuropsychology contains the most complete and up-to-date university program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Clinical Neuropsychology
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning

• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an internet connection

A syllabus based on the disruptive Relearning system, which will facilitate the assimilation of complex concepts in a fast and flexible manner”

It includes a faculty composed of professionals from the field of Clinical Neuropsychology, who bring their work experience into this program, as well as recognized 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 an immersive learning experience designed to prepare for real-life situations.

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

You will analyze how alterations in executive functions, attention, memory, and language impact academic performance"

You will identify cognitive, emotional, or behavioral alterations early on that interfere with school development"

The syllabus will explore in depth the fundamentals of neuroanatomy and the neurological mechanisms that underpin cognitive functions. Throughout the program, the most relevant disorders affecting processes such as attention, memory, language, and executive control will be studied. In this framework, the pedagogical resources will provide practical tools to develop educational interventions tailored to the cognitive characteristics of students. As such, graduates will be prepared to clearly recognize neuropsychological alterations that hinder learning and apply teaching approaches backed by scientific evidence.

You will design personalized pedagogical strategies based on the neuropsychological profile of the students”
