Dear colleagues and friends, we would like to call your attention to a new study program “M. Sci. in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology” at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich that is going to start October 2004. We would be grateful if you could distribute this information among your advanced students (a flyer can be downloaded from: http://www.paed.uni-muenchen.de/~ncp/NCPMunich.pdf ). The course is designed to present an advanced, research-oriented program in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology, an emerging field at the intersection of Experimental Psychology and the Cognitive Neurosciences. It will provide a small group of students (up to 20 students per year), to be recruited from around the world, with a state-of-the-art education in this brain research-oriented discipline of psychology. The application deadline for the first semester is July 30 2004. The Neuro-Cognitive Psychology program - is an English-language study program designed for a selected group of outstanding students, - is taught by leading scientists in their fields, both at the University of Munich (home institution) and at national and international (European) partner institutions, - is interdisciplinary in focus, integrating state-of-the-art theoretical and methodological approaches of Experimental Psychology and the Cognitive Neurosciences(Neurobiology, Neurology, Neuropsychology, Neuropsychiatry), - is research-oriented, providing advanced training in basic-science Neuro-Cognitive Psychology as well as its applications in the emergent fields of Neuro-Cognitive Diagnostics and Ergonomics, - consists of intensive, small-group and individual tuition, using both traditional and innovative teaching methods, - provides individual supervision and advising through a personal mentor system, - awards successful students with an international Master’s degree (or “Diploma in Neuro-Cognitive Psychology), which qualifies the holder for professional work in cutting-edge scientific and applied (e.g., health and industrial) settings. Tuition fees for the program are covered completely by the German / Bavarian government, except for a nominal matriculation fee twice per annum of Euro 85.
