NEUROSCIENCE AND NEUROIMAGINGSPECIALIZE IN SOLVING THE MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN BRAIN

Neuroscience has in the past decades emerged as a fast ex-panding field of expert studies that encompass and combine other scientific fields from molecules to imaging.

Presently, Neuroimaging is developing at a very rapid pace and is relevant to a number of health science disciplines where it has a great impact on the understanding, diagnosis and possible treatment of different devastating neurologi-cal diseases.

Study profileThe Master of Science (MSc) programme in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging unites the most recent research with modern technology and problem-oriented learning methods. The unique combination of advanced imaging techniques and a broad knowledge in basic and clinical neuroscience topics enables the students to join the growing field of neurosci-ence and neuroimaging as well as fill the rising demand for graduates with a specialization in neuroimaging due to the increasing worldwide availability of high-resolution scan-ners.
