Neuroscience University of Vienna

Overview

Modern neuroscience is developing at an unprecedented pace and is characterised by its high level of interdisciplinarity, which is especially relevant to our society. Neuroscientific knowledge is not only of particular intellectual interest to understand cognition, but it also plays an important role in the technological development of artificial intelligence.

Key features

Graduates have expert knowledge and practical experience enabling them to evaluate and further develop complex neurobiological phenomena at the molecular, cellular, neuronal circuit and organismic level using profound practical and theoretical basic and technical knowledge. 

The master's programme in Neuroscience from University of Vienna thereby focuses on the mechanistic processes underlying behaviour and cognition, which requires a special and focused education in cellular and molecular biology, as well as in the areas and techniques mentioned above.
