Why Neurosciences?
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Recent, intensive scientific research has taught us an enormous amount about how it functions and what can go wrong. Each year over two million people suffer from a disease or condition that affects the brain. In the Master’s programme in Neurosciences you will help expand the horizons of our knowledge and develop strategies for treating and possibly even preventing these afflictions.
