Brain Science

Overview

The human brain may look like a simple mass jelly, but in reality it is an amazingly complex network made up of billions of neurons and other cells. This network is responsible for how we experience and interact with the world. Are you curious how the brain perceives, feel, abstains and behaves? Do you want to discover how habits and lifestyle choices can be used to improve brain health? Do you want to contribute to better treatments for brain diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s? Are you ready to discover the power of the brain? Then the Bachelor’s in Brain Science at Maastricht University is the right programme for you!

To really understand how the brain works, you need to understand many things at once. In this unique bachelor's degree, the fascinating areas of psychology, biology, mathematics and computational science are combined. Control of these areas is required, because processes at all these levels occur simultaneously when we think, feel, act, remember or perceive.
