The special disciplines are designed to broaden, expand, and prepare students for any role they wish to pursue. The Oxford Method of Study is utilized to deepen the students knowledge of the subject matter and to begin to prepare them for research, research writing, and the publication of their work (if they so desire). It will also familiarize the student with medical library research and how to prepare research articles for publication.

This is an intensive program that will require most of the student’s time. Although part-time students will be considered for acceptance.

We highly recommend that students dedicate their full time to their studies. Accepted students will be heavily involved in reading many textbooks, research articles, case presentations, and writing research essays. “It is not our intention to make any program so difficult for students. But our programs in neuropsychology and behavioral disciplines are very strict with the educational guidelines. We do press our students to their maximum potential, both for their own good and the program of studies we provide. No one will be able to second-guess your education since our programs meet (or surpass) the same educational requirements as any Ivy League school.

If you dedicate your whole might and time to us, we promise to make you an extremely educated and knowledgeable neuroscientist."

The Neuropsychology and Behavioral Disciplines Department at Manna University may, from time to time, offer the Master’s-Doctorate (Ph.D.) combined program. The student shall be responsible for fulfilling all of the requirements for both the Master’s and the Doctorate degrees in whatever discipline this department offers.

MANNA UNIVERSITY Department of Neuropsychology, Biopsychology, Neurophysiology, Evolutionary Psychology and Addiction counseling.

The Department of Neuropsychology (and special psychological disciplines) offers graduate Master’s and Ph.D.’s programs for those highly qualified students who meet admission requirements. These programs, although clinically applicable, are catered to those students with an interest in research, teaching, hospital neuroscience research, Laboratory directors, public government employment & clinical applications.

The curriculum above is for the Master’s and Ph.D. in Neuropsychology (We will consider students who enroll into our combined Master’s and Ph.D. programs at the same time. But all course work and/or requirements will be needed to be complete in order to receive your degrees). This Neuropsychology program, will open the gateway for those graduates wishing to practice, research, teaching and work in so many other fields. Neuropsychology and Head Injuries (or Trauma), is learned during the internship year if the student so desires? Neuropsychological Assessment Techniques are also learned during an internship.

We permit students from the U.S. and abroad to choose their place, were they wish to perform their internship. This could be a hospital, clinic, government or with a private practitioner in their own home town. Manna University Department of Neuropsychology, would have to contact the hospital, clinic or practitioner and email him/her the evaluation sheets which need to be filled out and so on.

Research and publication of scientific papers and/or presentations at annual Neuropsychology meetings are all highly encouraged. After all, the more the publications; the more opportunities that student will have upon graduation! Students who wish to begin their research careers early and are enrolled in our program? Will receive assistance by one of our faculty members. All students enrolled in our Neuropsychology program, will have the opportunity for assistance by one of our departmental faculty members. Students are encourage to subscribe to scientific associations and journals, since we will have journal reviews every two weeks (twice a month).



Your master’s and doctorate degree in Neuropsychology can also be combined with a certificate or master’s degree in Addiction Counseling or Psychology (addiction psychologists and researchers are the most sought out professionals).
