A neuromodulation study on corporeal language" by means of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, under the supervision of Professor Manuel de Vega Rodriguez.
Bo Liu (China)
I come from China. I started my doctoral project at IUNE of ULL since 2018. I've been working on language acquisition and comprehension. My current research line is psycholinguistics, specifically, the neural mechanisms of language processing. The teachers here are very professional and supportive, and the colleagues are very friendly and cooperative. Furthermore, I like the nice weather and scenes on the island and I enjoy working with people at the university.

I have completed three experiments here with the help of my tutors and colleagues. Everyone is so kind and friendly and the school facilities are excellent. It has been a wonderful experience that I will always cherish in my heart.
Master's Degree in Biomedicine
Biomedicine is one of the sectors with the greatest socio-economic impact on our environment. Society increasingly demands a higher quality of life, which in turn depends on the proper development of the biomedical sector. In this regard, the Master's Degree in Biomedicine aims to offer highly specialized training in each of the disciplines that make up the curriculum, while also emphasizing their interrelationships.
The program, which is interdepartmental and interfaculty in nature, seeks to combine teaching activities for postgraduate students in those areas of knowledge where, at the University of La Laguna, lines of research of excellence related, to a greater or lesser degree, to biomedicine are being developed. The aim is to create a program that integrates levels of basic and applied knowledge.
PhD in Psychology
The PhD program in Psychology at the University of La Laguna (ULL) aims to train PhDs in various fields of psychology. Through this program, students will acquire the theoretical, technical, and practical knowledge necessary for advanced research in four main areas: Clinical and Health Psychology, Neuroscience of Cognition and Emotions, Psychology of Language, Education and Methodology, and Family, Social, and Community Intervention and Mediation.
