Behavioural neuroscience and functional neuro anatomy, mechanisms of learning and memory, computational neuroscience, neurophysiology and neuropsychology, motor and sensory systems neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and psychophysics, physical and physiological basis of brain imaging and recording.

The Graduate School of Neural & Behavioural Science provides a research-oriented training. The curriculum includes two internships of 7 and 9 weeks, where students have the opportunity to get in contact with the research groups at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics, the Natural and Medical Science Institute (NMI), the Center for Integrative Neuroscience (CIN), the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research and the University of Tübingen (Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Science).

Scholarships are available for excellent international students.

Cooperation agreements:

MPI for Biological Cybernetics, Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, Centrum for Integrative Neuroscience, Natural and Medical Science Institute, Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience

How is the program structured?

The masters program will last 24 months and consists of two theoretical units each followed by several weeks lasting laboratory rotation and a six-month’s period where students prepare their master thesis.

Career prospects

The graduate program of Neural & Behavioural Science offers a unique curriculum and exciting research opportunities for graduate students who wish to pursue careers in neuroscience in science and academia. The integrated curriculum offered in this program will give students a broad expertise that is not easily achievable in any individual department.
