Location of University of Tübingen
The Graduate School of Neural & Behavioural Sciences provides
research-oriented training in systems, behavioural and cognitive neuroscience.
A major aim of this research is to understand the role of higher
brain functions that allow humans and animals to operate successfully
in natural environments. Concrete topics include the neuronal basis
of perception and its top-down control by attention, expectation and
motivation. Furthermore, spatial orientation, planning and execution of
movements, storage and retrieval of memories, processing of language
and communication are being investigated. Also, the development of
neuroprosthetic devices that may take over functions of receptors or
neuronal networks destroyed by disease is being pursued. To investigate
these scientific questions, a wide, interdisciplinary spectrum of methods
is employed. Of particular importance are brain imaging methods, both
with respect to their physiological and technological basis and their application in neurology, psychiatry and neurocognition.
Contents
The program offers a unique curriculum and exciting research opportunities for graduate students who wish to pursue careers in science and academia. The interdisciplinary curriculum focuses on the role of higher brain functions in health and disease and will give students a broad expertise that is not easily achievable in any individual department.
Doctoral students of the Graduate School of Neural & Behavioural Sciences will be offered a training program throughout their doctoral period and they are required to earn 18 credit points (ECTS system). Doctoral students will be grouped in cohorts according to their starting year. At least in the first year of their training, they will take courses together and join the same doctoral student seminar. Please note, that doctoral students who have earned their masters degree outside of Tübingen may as well take selected courses from our master program. Different types of courses will be offered during defined phases of the doctoral programme.
