Neurobiology (Biomedical Sciences)

The Biomedical Sciences - Neurobiology of the University of Amsterdam is a challenging Master's program. It is positioned at the interface between biology, psychology and philosophy. Your Master’s diploma qualifies for excellent positions both in- and outside the academia, anywhere in the world.

Neurobiology is a relative young field of study on the cutting edge of multiple disciplines such as biology, psychology, philosophy and computer science. The Biomedical Sciences - Neurobiology of the University of Amsterdam is for those students who are fascinated by the functioning of the human brain.

Tracks

There are four specifically designed tracks. All four of them are organised by UvA research groups specialised in exactly these topics, creating an atmosphere of research based education.

• Molecular Neurosciences

• Physiology of Synapses and Networks

• Psychopharmacology and Pathophysiology

• Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology

Studying Neurobiology at the University of Amsterdam

The cluster Neurobiology at the University is part of the Master's program Biomedical Sciences. Consequently, the brain is approached from a biomedical point of view, from the molecule to the mind. The support of several university institutes such as the Swammerdam Institute of Life Sciences (SILS-CNS) and other neurobiological institutes like the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) and the Amsterdam UMC guarantee excellent courses and internships.

Courses include:

• Neurodevelopment/Specification of Neuronal Systems

• Stem Cell Fate and Cortical Genesis

• From Synapse to Network

• Neurophysiology

• Advanced Psychopathology

• Network Models, Representation and Consciousness
