Add to your qualifications a highly specialized program in Neurodegenerative Diseases, with the confidence of learning from the best professionals in the sector"

This professional master’s degree examines neurodegenerative conditions by relating their clinical manifestations to altered proteins. On many occasions, an anomalous protein may give different clinical manifestations and, on other occasions, a clinical manifestation may be produced by the alteration of different proteins.

There are new contributions in this professional master’s degree, such as the description of other Neurodegenerative Diseases related to the alteration of the metabolism of copper, iron, neuroectodermal disorders and the description of alterations with Vascular or Inflammatory pathology, from a neurodegeneration point of view.

The structure of the program allows differentiating these diseases by their clinical manifestations. We have also sought to provide uniformity in the diagnostic methodology by dedicating a complete module to diagnostic methods, in which the student will discover their sensitivity and specificity.

The student who studies the professional master’s degree will obtain a complete and integral vision of the whole neurodegenerative pathology, which will allow them to improve their clinical skills in this field of medicine. It will also enable you to use the most cost-effective diagnostic tools and perform appropriate patient management. It will also allow you to learn about the latest genetic treatments, already approved, for some of the diseases and future treatment trends.

The professional master’s degree in Neurodegenerative Diseases aims to prepare with rigor, teach with precision and provide ways of improvement so that the student will be able to lead realistic care and teaching programs in the specific area of their professional skills.
