Objectives and competences

Learning is a biological instinct. Traditionally, education has been guided by pedagogy and didactics. Currently, neuroscience allows us to understand how the brain learns, stores and uses information efficiently. We can better understand the deeper foundations of learning and optimize educational strategies based on brain functioning. This master's degree offers education professionals in-depth training in neuroeducation to apply this knowledge to teaching practice and research in education and educational neuroscience.

- To exchange good practices of application in the classroom with a view based on neurodiversity
- To understand new theoretical proposals in the field of neuroscience and how they can be translated to the classroom setting.


Second year:
- To deepen and know how to use knowledge about neuroscience in an appropriate, critical and reflective way in educational practice understood in a broad sense (in academic and non-academic environments, taking into account neurodevelopment and brain functioning), with knowledge of the facts and applying the scientific method adapted to educational contexts.
