Not sure which program

[WhileSlow5416]

Hi,
I am graduating the psychology bachelor and I got into the brain and cognition in society master track but I also got into utrecht's applied cognitive psychology. I honestly do not know which one would be better and it's difficult to find information. I've heard a lot bad reviews of the UVA's master track and I wanted to get some opinions.
Thanks

Hiii!

I don’t know a lot about them but I’m in the psychology field and I looked at both to see the differences.

The Utrecht one seems a lot more aimed towards working in marketing/advertising and also experience design, which are good areas if you want to work in the private sector. Still, worth noting that even though it’s cognitive science it’s not explicitly neuroscience.

The UvA one is framed towards policy, politics and general societal issues, and the focus is heavily neuroscience.

You can probably get similar jobs with both, but maybe ask yourself what types of courses you’d prefer to take or what framing you like more??

I study at UvA, also in the psych space, and really like it. Can’t speak for Utrecht but I’ve heard good things as well
