- Description/content
- The Neuroscience Master's programme at the University of Freiburg unites teaching expertise from the departments of biology, engineering, and behavioural sciences and economics to offer a coherent course programme that provides the training needed by the next generation of neuroscientists.
The English-taught two-year course of study is offered by labs from three departments and research centres, and it will deliver higher education in both the foundations of neuroscience and the latest research in the field. Our modular course structure caters to the individual backgrounds and research interests of the participants, providing theoretical training as well as practical training in the essentials of neuroscience as well as electives.
Transcending the disciplines out of which neuroscience evolves, the MSc programme takes an integrated approach: incorporating skill training and education in a wide range of theoretical and experimental methods, students in our programme are encouraged to approach problems from different angles.
Starting in October, this programme stretches over two years. The academic year in Germany is divided into two terms, which are called semesters. After having finished your first semester, having learned the foundations of neuroscience and its research methods, you will have the opportunity to select an individual research path that will cater to your individual research interests. You will be able to choose from a wide range of specialisations including computational neuroscience, neural circuits and behaviour and neurotechnology and create your individual curriculum composed of different courses.
