Research in the group Clinical Neurodevelopmental Sciences is focused on understanding and influencing developmental mechanisms in children and adolescents.

The master's specialisation Child and Adolescent Psychology consists of three main parts: the mandatory and elective courses, a thesis and an internship.

What are the circadian disturbances underlying depression vulnerability? How are they related to mood, cognition and sleep ?

Is blended care a feasible and effective treatment method for social anxiety in adolescence?

How can we implement the technique of pharmacological resting-state fMRI to improve the diagnosis of dementia?

Is EEG theta\beta ratio predictive towards the negative effects of stress on cognitive performance in individuals suffering from performance anxiety? Can we improve resilience to performance anxiety by using a theta\beta ratio neurofeedback intervention?

The specialisation involves general courses, specialisation-specific courses, electives, research internship and your thesis

The purpose of this programme is to join knowledge and insights from linguistics, literary analysis, and rhetoric, for the purpose of developing a set of methods for the stylistic investigation of any type of text in Dutch.
