Master of Science in Molecular Neuroscience

Program Overview

Knowledge of the brain in health and disease is still in its infancy. Are you passionate about learning more about neuroscience and contributing to our understanding of the functioning of the brain? If yes, then studying the MSc Molecular Neuroscience will be an excellent starting point.

The curriculum of the MSc Molecular Neuroscience programme is designed to support you in developing your knowledge of the intricate functioning of the brain. You will learn the basic principles of molecular neuroscience and acquire insight in a variety of experimental methods used in neuroscience research. Importantly, apart from learning about molecular mechanisms in the healthy brain, you will also explore the molecular mechanisms underlying brain disease, with a focus on neurodegeneration and mental health.

The programme is taught by experts in the fields of molecular neuroscience, neurodegenerative disorders, stress, and mental health. Teaching sessions by clinicians will give you further insight in the clinical and therapeutical aspects of brain disease. The teaching on the MSc Molecular Neuroscience is varied, employing a mixture of lectures, tutorials, workshops, master classes, and self-directed learning. You will develop and practice your communication skills, including scientific writing, and presenting and discussing research data. Practical teaching sessions in our laboratories and the performance of a research project will give you valuable experience in experimental neuroscience.

The MSc Molecular Neuroscience programme will appeal to graduates wishing to increase their knowledge of, and experience in, neuroscience before starting their PhD studies. The programme is also of interest to those who want to establish a career in industry, the health service, science communication or clinical trials coordination. You will be supported in developing your next career steps throughout the programme.
