Cognitive and Behavioural Neurosciences – (M.Sc.)

Facing human problems and learning to intervene in professional environments

The main objective of the "120" master's degrees is to train students in critical and theoretical thinking as regards various human problems and to thus prepare them to work in a professional environment: once you have graduated, you will be capable of working both with individuals and groups of individuals and with organisational structures.

The training aims to provide you with the skills that any person using your services has the right to expect :

- the ability to liste
- observe
- intellectual curiosity
- methodological rigour
- taking care to control your activity and to continuously call it into question

At the end of your training, you should be able to make a detailed analysis of a situation involving human beings, whether they are considered in isolation or in groups, in a particular context (family,school, professional, etc.). This analysis must lead to an intervention that favours the best adaptation possible of the individual, or individuals, to their living environment and a better quality of life.

The training also provides bases that will allow students to pursue a career in resarch if they so wish.
