What will you learn
In the Master’s programma of Biomedical Sciences you learn to contribute to innovative improvements in health and healthcare. The master’s programme allows you to construct a curriculum that meets your research interests and career goals.
The specialisation Medical Neuroscience is characterised by a strong interdisciplinary approach with a translation to healthcare innovations. We focus on bridging the gap between fundamental neurobiology and clinical neurosciences. Within this specialisation we deal with questions such as:
- How does brain imaging help us understand brain function?
- What are the key processes in brain cells that differ in healthy and diseased states?
- How do factors like for example stress impact brain function?
- How do animal models help us understand human brain disorders?
In the second year, you choose one of the four career profiles which allow you to expand your professional skills and prepare for potential career directions.
