Why study Neurobiology in Nijmegen?
A mechanistic understanding of brain organisation and function is the first step in conquering brain diseases. Are you motivated to work towards this goal from a multi-disciplinary perspective?
Neuroscientists study molecules, cells, networks and behaviour and develop novel methodologies to measure, analyse and eventually control them or their activity. While molecular and cellular neurobiologists determine the machinery that is important for creating neural circuits, systems and network biologists shed light onto how the coordinated actions of neurons lead to cognition and behaviour. This Master's specialisation covers neuroscience from cell to behaviour.
Why study Neurobiology?
- Radboud University covers the complete research field of neuroscience, from small (subcellular processes, single-cell analysis) to big (cognition, behaviour) and from experimental to big data analysis, computational modelling and advanced machine learning.
- It is possible to do an internship at companies or other universities in the Netherlands or abroad.
- Our student advisors are known for their approachability, quick responses, and for truly thinking along with you. Their commitment is unmatched! Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
- The programme is tailored to your needs. Create your personal pathway to further education through a flexible pre-Master's programme or minor, whether you're coming from a university of applied sciences or research university.
