Introduction

Neurobiology is a relative young field of study on the cutting edge of multiple disciplines such as biology, psychology, philosophy and computer science. The Master's programme in Biomedical Sciences - Neurobiology is for those students who are fascinated by the functioning of the human brain. Within the programme there are three specifically designed tracks:

1. Basic and Applied Neuroscience
2. Cognitive Neurobiology and Clinical Neurophysiology
3. Psychopharmacology and Pathophysiology

All three of them are organised by UvA research groups specialized in exactly these topics, creating an atmosphere of research based education.

Studying Neurobiology at the University of Amsterdam

The cluster Neurobiology at the University is part of the Master's programme Biomedical Sciences. Consequently, the brain is approached from a biomedical point of view, from the molecule to the mind. The support of several university institutes such as the Swammerdam Institute of Life Sciences (SILS-CNS) and other neurobiological institutes like the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) and the AMC guarantee excellent courses and internships.
