The Neurobiology curriculum covers the study of the structure and functions of the nervous system. You will study neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, biopsychology, psychophysiology, neurochemistry, mechanisms of sensation and perception, and the molecular processes of signal transduction. Elective courses allow you to specialize in adaptive neurotechnologies, neuroethics, histology, neuropsychology, biodata analysis, behavioral genetics, or neuronal biophysics.
- Graduates of the Neurobiology programme are able to study the latest scientific, experimental, and technical literature as well as other modern information sources, and apply the most up-to-date research and analysis methods. They can explain phenomena occurring in the human and animal body, especially in the nervous system, from cellular mechanisms to the overall electrophysiology of systems. They are able to formulate and analyze problems related to the characteristics of the human and animal nervous system, and understand the application areas, advantages, and limitations of modern clinical research methods.
