Key Summary
This programme aims to educate specialists for independent work in research and education in the areas of neurosciences, electrophysiology and psychopharmacology. The holder of a Master’s degree in Neurobiology will have a good knowledge of the general principles of the structure, function and pathologies of the nervous system, is able to study the latest neuroscience-related literature, identify and analyse neuroscience-related problems, and know the scope of application, advantages and disadvantages of modern scientific and clinical investigation techniques.
Why choose this programme?
- A TEMPUS-funded project has been established and is run together with our partners from Oxford University and Manchester University (UK), Western Ontario University (Canada), and Kuopio University (Finland).
- The courses are taught by high-level specialists.
- There are possibilities to prepare a Master’s thesis on topics outside of the Department of Neurobiology and Biophysics.

The holder of a Master’s degree in Neurobiology will have a good knowledge of the general principles of the structure, function and pathologies of the nervous system, can study the latest neuroscience-related literature, identify and analyse neuroscience-related problems, and know the scope of application, advantages and disadvantages of modern scientific and clinical investigation techniques.
A graduate of the programme is able to work individually and in a team, to transfer their knowledge to professionals and non-professionals, to identify their own scientific interests in the context of modern life sciences, and to learn continuously, by improving and updating their knowledge and skills.
- A Master of Sciences degree in Neurobiology ensures the graduate can work in the biotechnology industry, and in education, research and development at medical institutions, private and public agencies where knowledge, technologies and equipment in a field of neurobiology and live sciences are applied, created or traded.
- The graduate’s analytical knowledge could be improved through embarking on doctoral studies in the fields of Life Sciences.
