Entry requirements and how to apply

Entry requirements
Academic admission requirements include proof of a Bachelor's degree with good examination results in biology, biochemistry, molecular medicine, physiological chemistry, neurobiology, biopsychology, human biology, molecular life science, or any other study programmes that essentially contain a similar content. This proof can be a Bachelor's degree awarded by any higher education institution in Germany or abroad or any qualification that is recognised as equivalent and consists of at least three years of study. Good examination results are shown by submitting a Bachelor’s degree with an overall grade of 2.7 or better or, if no degree has yet been awarded, all examination results achieved by the date of application showing an average grade of 2.7 or better. The examination results must be documented in a current transcript of records.

About this programme

Molecular and Translational Neuroscience (MTN) is a research-oriented Master's programme designed to provide students with advanced training in both basic research as well as clinically and therapeutically oriented neuroscience. One of the objectives of Molecular and Translational Neuroscience is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, depression, schizophrenia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and age-related diseases such as dementia and Parkinson's disease. These conditions can significantly impact patients' quality of life and, in severe cases, may lead to complete loss of independence. Current therapies often lack sufficient efficacy due to limited understanding of the underlying pathomechanisms. Therefore, Molecular and Translational Neuroscience focuses on the investigation of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the adaptation and homeostasis of the nervous system and serves as a bridge, linking basic cellular and pharmacological studies, molecular neurobiology, behavioural physiology, and diagnostics as well as pharmacological applications. The knowledge gained can then be translated into targeted approaches for innovative therapies and preventive strategies. Our English-taught MTN programme provides specific theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge of cellular and molecular processes in neural cells and in the nervous syste
