    The Master's Degree in Cognition and Emotion in Educational Contexts arises from the confluence of subject areas close to Education, such as psychology and cognitive neuroscience, and from the interest in understanding the teaching-learning processes through innovative approaches based on scientific knowledge, taking the study of cognitive and emotional processes as the backbone.

    Students will acquire broad and advanced knowledge of cognitive, emotional and behavioural processes from the point of view of neuroscience. In addition, they will be able to complement their training by participating in the research activities of the Nebrija Research Centre in Cognition (CINC), directed by Dr. Jon Andoni Duñabeitia.

    Professional Outings

    Graduates of the Master's Degree in Cognition and Emotion in Educational Contexts will be able to work:

    • As members of research groups, including those of the Faculty of Languages and Education.
    • In the formal educational field, designing and implementing scientifically based educational innovation programmes to improve teaching and learning processes, attention to individual differences and diversity in the classroom, the appropriate emotional development of the student and, at the same time, greater efficiency in the educational task.
    • Both in the school environment and outside it, complementing the training received by teachers, professors and social educators for their work and for attending to diversity in infant, primary, secondary and special education centres, centres with social education programmes and centres with vocational training modules.
    • Advising educational guidance teams and guidance and tutoring services on diagnoses and measures to be implemented in the case of certain learning difficulties or special educational needs, behavioural problems, emotional development problems, etc.
    • Carrying out advisory, assessment or intervention functions, both in public institutions (such as town councils, provincial councils, social services) and private institutions.
    • In the publishing field, carrying out or, where appropriate, advising on the design of educational materials, so that they are adapted to the bases of neuroscience and cognitive psychology studied and promote the correct development of cognitive processes and executive functions, appropriate emotional development, etc.
    • As this is a research-oriented Master's degree, it is essential to bear in mind that graduates will be able to form part of the CEDI research group (Research Group on Cognition, Education and Individual Differences) whose main research activity deals with the psycho-educational aspects that determine the different cognitive profiles of students at different educational levels, focusing on four basic psychological processes: attention, memory, emotion and perception. The research profile of the members of the CEDI Group is multidisciplinary, including professionals from the fields of education and pedagogy, psychology and cognitive neuroscience with a solid scientific background. The CEDI Group is currently leading a number of research projects in the field of Education and Cognition which we will refer to when describing the scientific experience of the teaching staff of the Faculty of Languages and Education.
