About this programme
The programme offers highly research-oriented training that will provide students with a broad overview of the most relevant fields of neuroscience, including basic neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and computational neuroscience. This also includes relevant practical skills. The programme will confront students with various levels of complexity of neural functions from molecular biology to systems neuroscience. A major characteristic comprises the optional training in clinical neuroscience that will familiarise students with neuropathology and aspects of neurology and will provide them with hands-on information on current technical approaches applied in clinical research. For more information, see: https://www.izn-frankfurt.de/master/program/
The curriculum starts with a short introduction of the programme followed by a six-week introductory module "Basic Methods in Neuroscience". Basic knowledge in cell- and molecular biology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, MATLAB and statistics as well as legal and ethical aspects of animal experimentation will be acquired. Afterwards, students choose three elective lab work modules, each lasting four to five weeks. Within the first year, the curriculum further includes lectures and journal clubs as well as a weekend seminar to foster the interaction among students and between students and faculty. The second year focuses on the future laboratory research with introductions to the analysis of scientific literature and methodology that can later be applied to the Master's thesis. The thesis must be completed within six months. Further information PDF Download
