Overview

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 programme 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.

Programme Structure

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
