PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Master of Applied Neuroscience and Business (MANB) at Enigma Business School is an interdisciplinary and applied graduate program designed to integrate neuroscience, cognitive science, and business management in understanding and improving human behavior, decision-making, and performance within organizational and market contexts.

The program examines how brain mechanisms influence leadership, consumer behavior, strategic decision-making, learning, motivation, and organizational performance. Rather than focusing on clinical neuroscience, the MNB emphasizes applied neuroscientific insights that inform business strategy, leadership effectiveness, marketing, and organizational design.

Delivered through a flexible distance learning model, the MANB is ideal for professionals seeking a scientifically grounded approach to leadership, management, marketing, and organizational innovation.
