Why study at TECH?

At TECH we offer you the most complete specialization on Neuropsychology, so that you can complement your area of expertise and improve your knowledge to advance in your daily practice"

##IMAGE##

The work of psychologists in the field of Neuropsychology is quite complex and requires a great amount of specialization. Understanding the brain, its particularities, and the link between it and human behavior is essential to offer more specific and effective treatments, but it also requires a high level of specialization to develop their skills.

This Advanced master’s degree is divided into two main blocks: on one side, research in Neuropsychology and, on the other side, Clinical Neuropsychology. Therefore, this very complete specialization brings together concepts and high-level expertise on current approaches in the field of neuropsychological research, from the basic starting points to the application of conclusions and the materialization of new interventions, with specific topics on the chemical and anatomical structures involved in each of the processes within the field of health and mental disorders.

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 to specialize and to develop their personal, social and labor competencies during the course of their training.

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, helping you to think and develop critical thinking skills. And we will push you to think and develop critical thinking.
This Advanced master’s degree is designed to give you access to the specific knowledge of this discipline in an intensive and practical way. A great value for any professional.

A high level scientific educational program, supported by advanced technological development and the teaching experience of the best professionals"

This Advanced master’s degree in Neuropsychology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • The latest technology in online teaching software
  • A highly visual teaching system, supported by graphic and schematic contents that are easy to assimilate and understand
  • Practical cases presented by practising experts
  • State-of-the-art interactive video systems
  • Teaching supported by remote education
  • Continuous updating and retraining systems
  • Autonomous learning: full compatibility with other occupations
  • Practical exercises for self-evaluation and learning verification
  • Support groups and educational synergies: Questions to the expert, discussion forums and knowledge
  • Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
  • Content that is accessible from any, fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
  • The supporting documentation databanks are permanently available, even after the Progression

An educational program created for professionals who aspire to excellence that will allow you to acquire new skills and strategies in a smooth and effective way"

Our teaching staff is made up of working professionals. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the up-to-date education we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professionals prepared and experienced in different environments, who will develop theoretical knowledge efficiently, but, above all, will put at the service of specialization the practical knowledge derived from their own experience.

This command of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this Grand Master. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. In this way, you will be able to study with a range of easy-to-use and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the necessary skills you need for your specialization.

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that views learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice learning. With the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

A deep and comprehensive dive into strategies and approaches in the field of Neuropsychology"
