Annotation

General information: The aim of the Master's degree course is to provide a research-oriented education that deepens and expands the scientific competences and skills in the field of molecular and cellular neurosciences acquired during a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences. The degree course offers laboratory-oriented education and training that extends from aspects of basic research to clinical laboratory research. During the degree course, students should acquire the ability to independently apply their knowledge to new questions in their subsequent professional lives or a subsequent doctoral phase through increasingly independent work in the participating research institutions. Research focuses: The subject spectrum includes Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology, Neurobiochemistry and Neuropharmacology, and is focused above all on molecular and cellular aspects of neurosciences.
