Health, Cognition & Behavior

The Health, Cognition & Behavior cluster is for those who want to explore human health and what it means to thrive – physically, mentally and socially. You’ll learn about how the human body (and brain) should function, what can go wrong, and what you can do about it.

The units included in Health, Cognition & Behavior are Clinical Psychology, Life Science, Cognitive Science and Biomedical Science.

Courses in the Health, Cognition & Behavior cluster count towards a B.Sc. degree. How it works is explained here.

The courses listed below are the ones that are planned to be on offer from Fall 2025 onwards. This includes gateway, core and responsive courses. Since responsive courses are built around the idea that they respond to different input, this also means that those will not necessarily be on offer more than once. Expect our course offerings to evolve with the changing world.
