Programme of Neuroscience

The structure for the Master specialisation Neuroscience for the Master of Science in Medical Biology is:

• 24 EC mandatory courses:
  • NWI-BM073 Trends in Stem Cell Biology (3 EC)
  • NWI-BM044B Systems Neuroscience (3 EC)*
  • NWI-BM053B Behavioural Neuroscience (3 EC)*
  • NWI-BM001D Molecular and cellular Neurobiology (6 EC)
  • NWI-NM103B Methods in Neuroscience (3 EC)*

    * these courses (15 EC in total) are the courses specifically belonging to this specialisation. You'll take these courses together with students from other masterprogrammes such as Physics, Science and Molecular Life Sciences.
    The other courses are compulsory courses for Medical Biology students
• 6 EC Thesis 
  
  
• 72 EC Research internship (2x 36 EC)
  
  
• 15 EC free space for optional courses or extension of internships (6 EC max.)
