International Graduate Programme Medical Neurosciences


The PhD program takes an interdisciplinary approach to neurosciences linking basic and clinical brain research. Students will learn to describe and understand the physiology as well as the pathophysiology of the brain. The program prepares students for careers at the interface of bench and bedside in the academic neurosciences as well as in the application oriented biomedical industry.

There are two ways to get financed by

A doctoral position: PhD students can be financed through a doctoral position in the research group they work for. That is why students need to find such a position before being admitted to the PhD track. Our own MSc graduates can use the contacts made at that level and ideally continue their master thesis project on a larger scale. Outside applicants need to contact faculty whose research interests them and apply for a position directly.

NeuroCure: NeuroCure will offer fellowships to top PhD applicants, thereby enabling them to choose their research groups more freely.
