About this programme

The MSc Translational Neuroscience Elite Graduate Programme supported by ENB (Elite Network Bavaria) is a research-oriented, interdisciplinary training programme at the Faculty of Medicine that qualifies its students to effectively address the challenges in neurosciences. The Elite Graduate Programme is based on grown synergies between basic research and clinical practice including neurobiologists, neuroanatomists, neurophysiologists, neurologists, psychologists and psychiatrists from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Human Sciences at the University of Würzburg. The students are trained to develop creative ideas and methodological approaches essential for novel breakthroughs in diagnostic and therapeutic developments. Thus, molecular principles and modular concept development in experimental and clinical research are focused on in the Elite Graduate Programme. Moreover, self-dependence and individual responsibility in scientific practice are conveyed in order to enable the students to fulfil the requirements in the scientific society and of careers in the international context. The curriculum is a two-year, international study programme intended to be continued with a PhD project at the Faculty of Medicine or the Graduate School of Life Sciences Würzburg or at other universities. Prospective students must have finished their BSc (or be close to completion). We expect: excellent theoretical background in cell biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry research expe
