Master of Interdisciplinary Neuroscience
The
Master program "Interdisciplinary Neuroscience" has been established by
the Interdisciplinary Center for Neuroscience Frankfurt (ICNF). The Master of Interdisciplinary Neuroscience starts at the beginning of the winter term each year (mid-October). Applications from national and international students are welcome until
March 15th of the year of enrollment.
The major objective of the program
is to provide a broad and intensive training in basic neuroscience,
clinical neuroscience, cognitive and computational neuroscience as well as applied aspects of neuroscience to
talented national and international students holding a Bachelors degree
or equivalent from various fields of Natural Science, Psychology and Medicine.
The curriculum offered reflects the broad research activities of the ICNF.
Neuroscience
is one of the pillars of research in Frankfurt. Both at the Faculty of
Medicine with its preclinical and clinical institutions and at the
Faculty of Biosciences, neuroscience represents a focus of current
research. Strong neuroscience research groups are also placed at the
faculties of Psychology and Sport Science, Chemical and Pharmaceutical
Science, Mathematics and Physics. In addition, Frankfurt houses the Max
Planck Institute for Brain Research and the Max Planck Institute for
Biophysics as well as the Ernst Strüngmann-Institute for Neuroscience that
concentrates on cognitive neuroscience. The Frankfurt
Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) is associated with the university
and focuses on the theoretical analysis of brain function. All these
institutions not only provide input into the master program. They also offer excellent opportunities for subsequent PhD work in a highly stimulating research environment.
Additional information and ongoing activities can be viewed at the ICNF-homepage. There you will find amongst others links to the various groups and their research activities.
