Overview

Students who have completed the Computational Neuroscience programme from Humboldt University Berlin will have the ability to communicate across these diverse disciplines which will help them to make their own contribution to the fast growing field of neuroscience.

Quick facts:

Neuroscience is one of the most intensively developing and important sciences of the 21st century. Understanding the functioning of the brain requires the collaborative efforts of neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, cognitive scientists, medical researchers, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists and engineers.
The program consists of modules. A module covers a certain topic using different teaching methods such as lectures, tutorials, practicals, projects and seminars. A module’s mean workload is given in credit points. A credit point is defined in agreement with the European Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS, i.e. 30 hours of student invested time correspond to 1 credit point. The Master Program covers 120 credit points in total, i.e. two years divided in four terms. Each of the four semesters covers 30 credit points, i.e. 900 working hours. Each module is followed by an exam.
