Overview
The Neural Systems and Computation program at ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology consists of a set of core modules, elective core modules, a set of elective modules, and a Master’s thesis. Students may choose, in consultation with their mentor, a selection of core and elective courses to suit their backgrounds and goals. The Master’s thesis is mandatory and students have the option to reduce the duration of the thesis project in favour of two short research projects.
The core courses provide a common foundation for students with different educational backgrounds. The set of elective core courses cover the following:
Students must attend core courses from at least two of the three above listed disciplines (see Credit Point System).
In addition to theoretical courses, the core modules include a practical education in instrumentation, measurement, and data analysis relevant to neuroinformatics as well as an opportunity to study, discuss, and report on a list of foundational research papers in neuroscience and computation. In addition, a journal club, held with graduate students and INI staff, will provide a forum for the analysis and evaluation of recently published high-profile research. The journal club provides a state-of-art awareness of progress in the field.
A learning agreement must be signed by both the student and his/her mentor at the start and end of the studies (first and last semesters). This is mandatory for students who started in the Spring 2019 or later, and optional for those who started earlier. Please provide the NSC administration with a copy of the signed agreement in the first semester and with the original with the final signature in the last semester.
