How does the brain work? This is certainly one of the big open questions. The Master in Neurobiology progamme offers an up-to-date education in methods and topics of current neurobiological research. The programme enables successful graduates to join the endeavor.
Profile
The Master of Science in Neurobiology programme is offered by the Institute for Neurobiology in the Department of Biology. The programme addresses a wide range of neurobiological questions from a comparative, i.e. evolutionary, point of view. The spectrum of topics ranges from sensory stimulus encoding in lower vertebrates to cognitive abilities of higher vertebrates including humans. The methods range from single cell electrophysiology, cellular imaging and optogenetics to computational neuroscience and behavioural analyses.
Research environment
The Institute for Neurobiology at the University of Tübingen is part of the large Tübingen Neuroscience Campus with about 100 research groups. This vivid neuroscience research environment offers many opportunities for successful participants. As such, students can also attend a selection of related courses offered by the faculty of science and the medical faculty.
