MA/MS in Biomedical Sciences: Neurobiology

The master's track sits at the intersection of biology, psychology, philosophy and computer science, aimed at students interested in how the human brain functions. It offers four tracks, each run by a UvA research group specialising in that area: Molecular Neurosciences; Physiology of Synapses and Networks; Psychopharmacology and Pathophysiology; and Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology. As part of the Biomedical Sciences master's programme, the brain is studied from a biomedical angle, from the molecular level to cognition, with support from university institutes including the Swammerdam Institute of Life Sciences, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and the Amsterdam academic medical centre.
