Why study

From a scientific perspective, the Doctoral Programme aims to train researchers, prioritising interdisciplinarity and covering areas of basic and applied neuroscience, as well as clinical psychology and psychiatry. Among the major challenges in research is achieving a comprehensive understanding of brain function, from its molecular substrates to the bases of memory, intelligence and conscious action, as well as the mechanisms that support them and the most appropriate intervention strategies to improve health and quality of life. With this objective, the programme brings together researchers from different areas of knowledge, within the fields of neurobiology, cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology and psychiatry, as reflected in the title of the degree and in its associated research lines.
