Location of Maastricht University

Anxiety, depression and related affective disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, but the underlying mechanisms of emotions are also the least understood by modern science. With the Master and Summer School we provide an education in the specialized field of affective neuroscience.

Master of Affective Neuroscience

The International Master of Affective Neuroscience is a postgraduate joint degree programme from the Universities of Maastricht and Florence, with an emphasis on affective neuroscience research. The part-time two-year programme is a combination of distance learning and intensive residential courses of one week. The curriculum is built around the individual research project, the results of which must be published in a peer reviewed journal.
