Course content

A flexible and interdisciplinary programme, which challenges you to unravel the workings of the human brain.

The Master's specialisation in Neurophysics focuses on unravelling the neuro-computational mechanisms of this fascinating, complex system and use this knowledge for relevant applications, such as robotics and neuro-technology. The programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying the organisation and function of the brain through experimental approaches, advanced theory and computational models. This is the only programme in the Netherlands that covers the complete spectrum of Neuroscience research, from cognition and behaviour, subcellular processes to single-cell analysis, big data, computational modelling and advanced machine learning.

This programme is connected with the Donders Institute, allowing you to work alongside world-class reasearchers and create contacts for the future. This specialisation offers two focused tracks: Sensory-motor integration or Machine learning, Neuroinformatics and Artificial Intelligence. The programme can be readily adapted to your individual academic background – whether that is in the field of Mathematics, Physics or Computing Science.

What will you learn?

• Gain an extensive background in theoretical developments in brain research, neurotechnology and artificial intelligence
• Learn and practice a variety of research methods and scientific approaches
• Get valuable experience designing, conducting and presenting your own research projects

Career prospects

Graduates from this programme leave well prepared for careers in academia or other research institutes like the Donders Institute.

*This is a specialisation of: Master's of Physics and Astronomy
