Postgraduate Studies in Neuroscience and Brain Health
Are you passionate about neurosciences and do you want to learn more about brain health, research methods in neuroscience, neuromodulation and the newest advances in the field of neuroscience? Do you want to have more knowledge about the healthy and the diseased brain in order to be better at your job (e.g. industry, health institutions, research centre)? Or do you want to be prepared for doctoral research in neuroscience?
What
The social relevance of a neuroscience education is clear; 43% of the population will ever come into contact with a neurological disorder. Neurological disorders are the main drivers of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the costs caused by them are the sum of the costs of all neoplastic and cardiovascular diseases combined. Brain health is a relatively new concept and concerns the possible prevention of brain disorders. Brain research is therefore of great importance. It is evident that education within this discipline is the first necessary step and this postgraduate degree will be able to contribute to this. The training will also serve as an ideal preparation or supplement for doctoral research in neuroscience.
For whom
The admission requirements depend on your prior education (type of degree, country of issue etc.) or additional experience.
